this patch is not upstream because we haven't proposed it for inclusion in the
tree yet. if concerned with gentoo packaging, please open a bug on our bug
tracker or talk to us on #gentoo-toolchain on libera.chat

this is part of the reason why we have not done so.

GCC tarballs appear to lack .mo files entirely (checked gcc-12.2.0.tar.xz and
gcc-14-20230423.tar.xz) in all components, so this step would necessarily run.
the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set through RPATH_ENVVAR when partway through
bootstrapping:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/arsen/gcc/releases/gcc-11b/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/src/.libs:/home/arsen/gcc/releases/gcc-11b/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/libgomp/.libs:/home/arsen/gcc/releases/gcc-11b/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/libitm/.libs:/home/arsen/gcc/releases/gcc-11b/./gcc:/home/arsen/gcc/releases/gcc-11b/./prev-gcc
this is done, it'd seem, through all-target-libstdc++-v3 ->
RAW_CXX_TARGET_EXPORTS -> BASE_TARGET_EXPORTS
this happens on the 13 branch as well, but is not noticeable since that's not a
downgrade on my system.
it's a bit unsafe to set this variable globally like this (since it affects
build-machine programs like make and msgfmt and sh too), but I'm not sure how
one could avoid it, since the configure script needs it set, but not the shell
that runs it, etc.. (and, even worse, only some programs configure runs need it
set..) maybe it'd be easier to inject a runpath into linker flags or
something? not all things can be fixed by patching like the msgfmt patch
