Yes.  The rule is, or ought to be, that if you have the needed
dependencies you should be able to check out gcc, run configure, and
then run make.

Checking in configure and Makefile.in supports this mode of operation.
Checking in lex- or yacc-generated files does not.

libintl and those parts of libjava are externally maintained.
The distinction here is (at least for libjava, I'm not up on libintl
any more) that it is simpler to just follow whatever upstream does.
