Yes.  It is a little tricky figuring out what to include but I'll let
you in on a secret: I set up a "repository" on sources.redhat.com called
"uberbaum"

cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs AT sources DOT redhat DOT com:/cvs/uberbaum login
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs AT sources DOT redhat DOT com:/cvs/uberbaum checkout .

This will get you the complete tree, containing gcc, binutils, gdb,
winsup, etc.

This "repository" is actually just a symbolic link farm to the other
repositories so it reflects any changes made to the gcc or src
repositories automatically.

Checkins are limited, though, unfortunately.  I confused people on the
gcc list with some checkins a while ago, so I've disabled them for most
people.
