As this is the way gcc compiles:
- compile an "mini-gcc" (stage1/xgcc) with any *cc installed
- compile another (stage2/xgcc) with stage1/gcc
- compile whole gcc (stage3/xgcc) with stage2/xgcc
- while (
differ(
code_produced_by_stageN_gcc,
code_produced_by_stageN-1_gcc
)) {
- compile stageN+1_gcc with stageN_gcc
- N++
}
it should not matter what gcc version is installed .. objections?
