Yah, you'd need to pass LATEST=2.067.1 in the command line.
Then the build process won't need to connect to the internet to
fetch the latest version.
"LATEST" detection must go. It makes bisecting impossible.
In general, if we want reproducible builds (and this is required
for reliable bisection of regressions), we can't rely on
non-immutable online resources. Fetching / building stable
compiler versions is OK, but detecting which version is latest
right now is not.
