You can already merge them into one tree and build them together, see
https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Building_Cross_Toolchains_with_gcc (this page
is a little out of date, but the same principle holds for combined-tree
building).

There are no current plans to merge the projects development trees, to
my awareness.
