Yeah - never again. The build process was convoluted and slow, and it took years before someone finally worked out all the cross-compiling bugs. At the end of the day, writing builder code was easier, cleaner, and simpler. Bootstrapping is a good idea for general purpose compilers. But for our minimal uses, it just isn't worth it. --Ken
