Not much.  I'm convinced it would be feasible, but definitely not easy,
so I wanted to see how much interest there was - seems like some, but
not a lot.

Would this comprise retrofitting the support into the 4.2 branch?


I don't think it's needed in the 4.2 branch since you can get the functionality
with --disable-bootstrap (or whatever it's called).  It's only in 4.3 that
that option will be removed and hence the functionality otherwise lost.

No, --disable-bootstrap *will* remain forever. What will be lost is the possibility to do

  ../configure --disable-bootstrap
  make bootstrap
