Not quite. You can do an old-style build and an old-style bootstrap from the
*toplevel* directory with --disable-bootstrap by issuing "make" and "make
bootstrap" respectively, that's all (and sufficient as far as I'm concerned).
Not quite. For now, you can do an old-style build and an old-style
bootstrap from any directory with --disable-bootstrap, with the commands
you mentioned.
In the future, you will still be able to do an old-style build with
"--disable-bootstrap" (nobody ever wanted to prevent that). But you
will not be able to do an old-style bootstrap because the relevant
Makefile rules will be removed.
