I built unified trees about once per week last summer.
My experience:
+ they do solve Richard's original problem, which is:
testing a gcc without installing it
+ once I sorted out my symlink script, I had no trouble
with libiberty or include or other shared directories.
And they are synced even tighter today.
- it did bother me that I was not building the packages
in the same way that they would be released.
- I like to test with several different versions of gcc
so it's better for me to build in separate trees anyways.
