Before that can work, you'ld need *all* the utilities used by configure
and the generated makefiles to know about symlinks. Bash, fileutils,
shellutils, textutils, sed, and make, and may some others I forgot.

They 'are' not incorporated, in the sense that it would happen
automatically, or so. *You*, as the author, have to contact the GCC
maintainers, and offer your patches. They'll talk you through the details
of the procedure.
