Generically, the presence of lots of nonobvious places that may turn out to use a symbol - ada/gcc-interface/, go/gofrontend, config/ for what one thinks of as front-end symbols, libgcc/ and other places outside of gcc/ (being outside gcc/ is probably how the remaining use of ROUND_TYPE_SIZE in libobjc was missed when that macro was removed from GCC in 2003), C symbols used directly in Ada source code, .... The ongoing work on narrowing interfaces (so that it's well-defined whether particular headers are used for the host or the target, tm.h isn't included in so many places, etc.) may help - though another thing to watch out for there is random declarations in .c files or inappropriate headers that mean that something uses a symbol from some part of the compiler despite not including the normal header that declares it (I found plenty of such cases when making options variables into macros). Help in cleaning up interfaces is always welcome - there's a lot to do (<http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Top-Level_Libgcc_Migration> has notes dealing with the very narrow area of target macros in code built for the target). -- Joseph S.
