It would be better to leave config.gcc monolithic. If it selects a file that doesn't exist, we can tell the user that they need to install the configuration for that host/target. With your idea, there's no difference between "forgot to install" and "unsupported". Besides, the split-up is only for distribution and installation. Developers will still see the whole CVS tree anyway.
