It's not really reasonable to disable bootstrap if you're using a compiler that can't compile post-stage 1. The point of bootstrap is to start from portable sources and get a working compiler, if you refuse to bootstrap then you shouldn't really complain that the source can't be built with your compiler. It's meant to be built by GCC.
