The current runtime might be buggy and might not work for a new
compiler.
A wanted target: posibblity to compile an old compiler with a new
one. If
to start doing so from making a runtime then we can get a messages

No, because the compiler itself also uses the run time library. So if
it is compiled against an old run time library which contains certain
bugs that are fixed in the current version, the resulting compiler may
not work.
