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. Does that sound fair enough?
