I'm likely to follow binutils+gdb in making autoconf/automake updates in GCC.
libtool updates are trickier, and probably more relevant to GCC than to binutils+gdb. GCC is using a 2009 version of libtool (reportedly commit 2c9c38d8a12eb0a2ce7fe9c3862523026c3d5622) with lots of local patches, some of which may not be upstream (libtool upstream isn't very active), and different interpretations of --with-sysroot mean that updating libtool in GCC would also require reverting libtool commit 3334f7ed5851ef1e96b052f2984c4acdbf39e20c in the new version of the libtool files used in GCC (in addition to making sure that any other not-yet-upstream local libtool patches are preserved).
