Unless the other GNU toolchain sub-projects are moving towards the
same scheme I really don't see the point in confusing the users of the
official FSF with those xtra configure options. We need less knobs,
not more.
I understand that CoseSourcery has the convention on adding a -csl
suffix to the version number for their tools. But that is just one of
many conventions. I think things like this are better kept as a local
modification.
