That wouldn't actually fix the problem, since it would only help for
bootstrapping 5.0 from very recent versions of 4.x.  The problem is
the usual one with committing files generated by autoconfig.  This
gives a configuration that might only be valid for the host machine
that ran autoconfig.  Cross-compiling of even portable cross-compile-aware
sources like gcc is broken by this.
