I think it's annoying that you then have to type
OVERRIDEVERSIONCHECK=1 whenever you build a cross-compiler. Even
more: it will suggest that building a cross-compiler should also be
done starting with the latest release, while in fact it they should
be built using a native compiler built from the same svn version.
Therefore I don't think think that we can check anything in case of
cross-building.
Also, maybe the printed message should be more explicit about the fact
that using the latest release is the only supported way to bootstrap
the compiler, and that OVERRIDEVERSIONCHECK=1 must only be used if you
know for a fact that the starting compiler was built from the same
sources that you are currently compiler.
