Thanks for the tips. I've gone ahead and cherry picked (by adding my
gcc checkout as a remote in my binutils-gdb checkout and vice-versa)
most diverging patches from each repo.
This approach also retains authorship information (though, I will have
to comb over the resulting commits to add context and adjust commit
messages).
A few manual interventions remain, and I've yet to synchronize the
libtool forks and re-do testing.
I hope to finish that by the weekend.
The result should be identical trees, which will make it easier to post
and review patches for the gettext update and intl/ removal.
Have a lovely day.
