The makefiles could be adapted to add an extra step into the build process
but it would take more effort to make it work. The proposed script already
works without changing the build system.

I'm not going to waste my time looking.

Why add an extra dependency that would have to be included in the GCC
sources, when Python already has what's needed to do this.

Somebody has written a new tool, and you seem to be asking them to rewrite
it for your preferences. If you want to rewrite the script in C++ feel free
to proposed a patch, but this digression for your curiousity doesn't seem
productive to me.
