Counter-argument:
I *prefer* src, exactly for that reason; "scripts expect that".

If you-all want binutils+gdb (or some other combination of their
names), I can live with that, but not another generic name just
because someone offers the opinion that "src is utterly
meaningless".  It's not: it's the default name of the check-out
directory of sourceware top-level...
