GNU gettext is supported on a wide list of systems as well. Before we make
a GNU gettext release, we test in on glibc systems, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
macOS, AIX, Solaris, Cygwin, native Windows systems.

You appear to be saying that using tested GNU gettext release tarballs will
make it "more difficult" for GCC than to continue to use an old code
from 2003, with occasional backports from upstream. Why?
