i'd prefer to see these moved into the normal binutils/gcc ebuilds myself

are these libraries special ?  that is, are these things specific to xmingw ?  
or are they just ebuilds which take normal packages and force them to be 
compiled with the xmingw toolchain ?

if they are xmingw-specific, then they should be added to the tree as sep 
packages, but if they are normal packages and these ebuilds are special hacks 
to cross compile them with xmingw, then they have no business in the tree
