I have, though who knows when, if ever, this would get fixed. 

It is not the same pleasure reporting bugs to the GCC team as 
the Eclipse team(generally I get feedback from the Eclipse guys,
they are very welcoming towards bug reporting noviceses). 
I'm not too familiar with the GCC development process and how
to best present things. For one thing I see from the mailing lists
that everybody seems to hate the bug reporting tool they are using,
and I've heard they are planning to replace it with Bugzilla.

Aren't you guys firing of PRs to them left and right? :-)

I would suggest no.

It isn't entirely unreasonable to add a modification to Eclipse such 
that it does not issue commands to query the machine configuration
until the program is running.

This is the only thing that stops Eclipse from working out of the
box with the GDB emulator and from a "marketing point of view", it
is important that new users to CDT get a basic hello world development
cycle up and running on the first attempt.
