Well, that certainly worked, as exemplified by this:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2011-05/msg01890.html

At least that would enable my daily run (between 18:10 and 20:10 UTC) to 
catch -Werror mistakes ...

Perhaps it would just help if we implemented the next step of the plan 
(http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/gcc-in-cxx):

# "it would be a good thing to try forcing the C++ host compiler 
requirement for GCC 4.[7] with just building stage1 with C++ and 
stage2/3 with the stage1 C compiler. --disable-build-with-cxx would be a 
workaround for a missing C++ host compiler."

Of course, that still wouldn't make it possible to implement C++ 
solutions for C hacks because the "--disable-build-with-cxx" crowd would 
cry "foul" over this ...
