Do you really want to do this?
Wouldn't it be better to take a more staggered approach? First release
a GCC with both v2 and v3 ABI support and then release a successor that
only contains v3 support.
I expect many people to try to use GCC with pre installed tools (GDB
comes to mind). Requiring people to upgrade to some
not-yet-even-developed version of random tools is going to raise a few
eyebrows.
(perhaps I'm misunderstanding the significance of the change)
