Hi Christian,

Nope :-(

Yes, but it takes a little work.  What you do is to check out the
sources separately and then in the FSF GCC tree you make some symbolic
links to the sourceware tree.  Then you can just use the configure
script at the top level of the FSF tree to create a complete build
directory hierarchy.  You only need to make the symbolic links once,
but the two trees are still independent, so you need to "cvs update"
then separately.

The links that I make are:

   cd FSF-gcc
   ln -s ../sourceware/src/bfd .
   ln -s ../sourceware/src/binutils .
   ln -s ../sourceware/src/gas .
   ln -s ../sourceware/src/gprof .
   ln -s ../sourceware/src/ld .
   ln -s ../sourceware/src/libgloss .
   ln -s ../sourceware/src/opcodes .
   ln -s ../sourceware/src/ld .
   cd include
   ln -s ../../sourceware/src/include/aout .
   ln -s ../../sourceware/src/include/bfdlink.h .
   ln -s ../../sourceware/src/include/bin-bugs.h .
   ln -s ../../sourceware/src/include/bout.h .
   ln -s ../../sourceware/src/include/callback.h .
   ln -s ../../sourceware/src/include/coff .
   ln -s ../../sourceware/src/include/dis-asm.h .
   ln -s ../../sourceware/src/include/elf .
   ln -s ../../sourceware/src/include/filenames.h .
   ln -s ../../sourceware/src/include/fopen-same.h .
   ln -s ../../sourceware/src/include/ieee.h .
   ln -s ../../sourceware/src/include/opcode .
   ln -s ../../sourceware/src/include/progress.h .
   ln -s ../../sourceware/src/include/remote-sim.h .

 
I also make some links to other, sourceware based packages:

   cd FSF-gcc
   ln -s ../sourceware/src/gdb .
   ln -s ../sourceware/src/libgloss .
   ln -s ../sourceware/src/newlib .
   ln -s ../sourceware/src/sim .
