Very nice.

I think it should be enabled and the expanded md be dumped for
non-release builds.

There's configury bits for the development stage but with loose
ends; you'll have to add an AC_SUBST in gcc/configure.ac to use
in gcc/Makefile.in, like a @maybe_dumped_md@ set to empty or
s-mddump and added to dependencies for "all" (or probably
actually some suitable sub-dependency for "all").
