Personally, I would rather allow them and put a time limit on their lifespan. 3-6 months perhaps. Keeping git bisect working and avoiding forcing everyone to do a tool update
are big positives but we need a way to timeout the code.

I would be willing to annotate them with something that we could search on with a
date included like "TOOL CONDITIONAL 2019-07-28" so it would be easy to
automate looking for them and pinging us.

Yes, some sort of a best before date for Newlib feature detection stuff in configure.ac would be nice. I would make it at least six months. Sometimes we have to force tool updates. If this happens, we can wipe out all the tests at once.
