Could you include this in the style list in gcc.texi (the one that
currently says
@c For consistency, use the following:
@c - "back end" as a noun, "back-end" as an adjective.
@c - "bit-field" not "bitfield" or "bit field" (following the C and C++
@c standards).
@c - "built-in" as an adjective ("built-in function"), or sometimes
@c "built in", not "builtin" (which isn't a word).
@c - "front end" as a noun, "front-end" as an adjective.
)?

I'd hope this might also be considered appropriate for the branch when the
3.0.1 criteria are determined.

Can you also attend to this FIXME :-)?
