I filed #753382 to be sure. I'd actually prefer to keep cpp-4.7 (that would
mean basically indefinitely[1], though, so it's not a really good option.)

[1] I myself added --with-idlc-cpp to LO back then to support a system-"ucpp" and
it supported /usr/bin/cpp(-4.7), too. Fedora switched back to ucpp when
gcc 4.8 broke it and I kept cpp-4.7 so I am probably the only one who really
does use /usr/bin/cpp-4.7 for idlc...
