Downgrading the severity on the basis that is a pre-existing issue, and
not reproducible every time.

Presumably the build system is meant to create build/./gcc/xgcc before it
is needed, but perhaps there's a missing dependency (as in make, not as in
dpkg) that can result in it being used during stage2 before it was created?
If it's that sort of race condition, then it wouldn't be unexpected that it
sometimes succeeds and sometimes fails.
