This would require at least an exception for cross-architecture

bugs in earlier versions that are triggered by newly added compiler
code).
Well, but isn't that an exception that is valid (and probably will
always be valid) for any build? Or maybe I miss something.
To build trunk (or any revision) with a starting compiler, that is
itself the same revision => I would expect that to work always?
At least that is my understanding, what happens, in the "make cycle" ?
The starting compile is used to build a "current" compiler, which is
then used to build itself again?
