It's libtool for which an update may be the riskiest (necessary to revert libtool commit 3334f7ed5851ef1e96b052f2984c4acdbf39e20c, see , and need to check for any local changes relative to the last libtool version merged from that aren't in the new libtool version used). I don't know whether updating other tools in GCC would require updating libtool or whether the updates can be independent. -- Joseph S. Myers joseph@codesourcery.com
