I would like to propose a set of diffs to enable compilation of gcc

Please be more concrete. I strongly disagree that there is benefit.
I'm with Daniel on this one.
Note that only building from a checkout requires flex and bison;
release tarballs do not.
Do we verify this?
I seem to recall bison and makeinfo being needed for a recent release
tarball, although I don't remember the details (perhaps it was with
binutils 2.18).
