Thanks, I'll give this a go and see what the build time differences are like.  I always thought the extra 
build phase was unnecessary for typical builds, but I never recalled gcc having this switch before.  I don't 
exactly play around in its internals much these days, so I probably missed its addition.

Any thought been given to making it into a feature controlled by a USE flag?  E.g., 'full-bootstrap' or 
something, defaulting to on, to build all three stages, and users can turn it off to skip the comparison stage?
