I don't think they should be more integrated. Each package is quite
complex on its own already. If you would, e.g., tie the release
schedules of the packages together, release would take much longer.
So you would have a perfect release, but you would have to wait five
years for them. Instead, you may just accept imperfect releases,
and wait for a solution within one year.
Furthermore, gcc is not just for Linux and glibc. None of these
problems exist, say, on Solaris. Why should Solaris users suffer from
problems they couldn't care less about?
