when gcc is built with LIBTOOL=rlibtool, linker plugin is disabled ("checking linker plugin support... 0"), because gcc/configure.ac checks test -f liblto_plugin.la. LIBTOOL=rclibtool resolves the issue.

It has some interesting quirks. In particular, it takes the idea of "packagers don't want to install libtool archives for random libraries because nobody uses them and pkg-config is better" and runs with it. It runs quite far with it, as it doesn't install them at all without a new flag passed to slibtool. This is redundant with our existing approach of deleting them in src_install when we know they are useless, and is downright broken in cases such as GCC, where the libtool archives are load-bearing and the resultant compiler is, in their absence, nonfunctional. slibtool supports a variety of wrappers to enable reasonable functionality which it by default disabled. The official recommendation is you are supposed to use "rlibtool" to replace ./libtool as it performs heuristics based on the generated config. But we actually need "rclibtool", which both respects the generated config and also generates the *.la archives and leaves it up to ebuilds to decide whether they should be removed. Raise a fatal error if the user has misconfigured slibtool. This prevents the user from building a broken and malformed GCC.
