OTOH, we don’t want to make bootstrapping too complex either, so there’s
surely a trade-off here, and it probably needs to be considered on a

In this case, The cost of avoiding the upgrade is needing to compile gcc
4.4 twice. Once to be used to build the new glibc and a second time to
built with the new glibc.
I personaly don't find this to be a big burden and it would be what I
would do; however I'm not nearly as experienced as Eelco, so I trust his
judgement.
