I've merged #63329 now, and also reverted to the gexp based patching in gcc-11. The childhurd system test builds for me at least, although it seems to fail when run. Native building for i586-gnu seems to have multiple problems, although I think the gcc-cross-boot0 source issue is the one that seems hardest to work around to me.
