<para>For native builds of GCC, the default is to a "bootstrap" build.
This does not just compile GCC, but compiles it several times. It
uses the programs compiled in a first round to compile itself a
second time, and then again a third time. The second and third
iterations are compared to make sure it can reproduce itself
flawlessly. This also implies that it was compiled correctly.
However, the LFS build method should provide a solid compiler
without the need to bootstrap each time.</para>
