I've filed the following bugs which cover my current list of things I 
think it's time to remove:

http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13550 (--enable-bounded)
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13551 (non-ELF)
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13552 (--enable-omitfp)
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13553 (__const etc.)
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13554 (pre-2.6 Linux)
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13555 (configure support for old targets)
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13556 (ports: ARM old-ABI)
