IANAL so let me say it is company/personal policy to release more than
would be the minimumm specially to avoid corner cases like we have with
gcc/libgcc.

I think there are some issues..

a.) Missing option to tarball everything. I can prepare a patch for that.

b.) At least libgcc sources not being present.

c.) How can I get back to compliance? I would have to use something like
the old DISTRO_PR after I patched the archiver class and rebuild everything.
How can this be handled today? I have installations in the field that I
want to upgrade, so the PR of each package should increase.

d.) Verify that for the meta-toolchain target the necessary GCC sources
are archived.
