I believe this request is finally fulfilled.  The GCC 3.4 branch can now be
built from a read-only directory.

Some of the relevant patches checked in were:

There is a new configuration option --enable-generated-files-in-srcdir which
restores the old behavior for distributions of releases.  This feature, though
working, needs a little Makefile tweaking for proper use by the endusers without
bison, flex, and makeinfo.  For that, I'll file a new PR.

Two files are still being produced by fastjar, of which GCC is a downstream
user.  I'll submit a patch for that to the upstream maintainer as well as
propose a local patch for GCC.

I'm closing this PR.
