  FreeBSD ports system (package manager that build from source) is
happy to use official sources of gcc/binutils and patches from SF
project, without using any full checkouts.

  IMHO, "patches for official tarball release" is very, very good and
convenient way to release such projects: huge patched tarballs are way
to increase entropy and force big downloads. "stock" tarballs could be
used to build several packages (for several targets) and they should
be downloaded only once.
