So ... just building for --enable-languages=c,c++ usually works for
the *-elf targets, but I'm interested in building as much code as
possible. Is it expected that with --enable-languages=all, all those
targets will break? Can we have a sane default here, or need the
maintainers decide for any given debug format?

Thanks,
