You are building GCC-4.8.2 with GNAT Core compiler, which is 4.7.4 xxxxxx (snapshot), so the bootstrap is highly recommended. I've done a build and I'll need to make few changes before submitting them, and one of them is removing disable-bootstrap and mention to add it back if ada compiler isn't being built and the same gcc version as in LFS is being used.
