We need to be concentrating on that.
Actually now is a great time to change. I bet you'll have less issues trying to get the proposed method to work with the new versions of gcc and glibc than you will with the current method. In fact, I've just tested my proposed changes with the gcc-4.7.0 release candidate and the tagged glibc-2.15 branch and it went beautifully. I even get to remove one of the seds I proposed because gcc-4.7.0 is not using the STANDARD_INCLUDE_DIR macro. The only things I had to do differently was re-gen the cpuid patch for glibc and add libc_cv_ctors_header=yes to the end of the glibc configure (as per this thread: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-dev/2011-August/064955.html), things that would need to be done regardless.
