I was imagining this to be difficult. Given that you dropped the
binutils-dev dependency right away, I attempted integrating it the way
you suggest and conclude that this approach just works.

I agree with the general direction. My disagreement was about the
process. Changing the bootstrap package set tends to be difficult and I
expected needing more time. It actually turns out to just work.
