Have you tried to submit the patch to build those libraries upstream? Was it
rejected for some reason?
Fedora has a policy of staying close to upstream, and I'm afraid it wouldn't
be well received if we would try patch GCC in Fedora to build those libraries.
If it were included in the GCC source distribution I'm sure it would be fine in
Fedora. (On the other hand Fedora has a policy against bundled libraries but I
don't think that applies if the code never was a separate library to begin
with.)
