> I can extend my patch to as. You surely can (and actually extend it to everything else that is invoked via exec-tool)... but then you're never using the bootstrapped tools in a 2-stage bootstrap! In a 3-stage bootstrap you will because you'll invoke stage2 tools, and stage2 must be the same as stage3. But this would be very confusing for people debugging, and in the worst (very hypothetical, I admit) case, it could even cause comparison failures if the stage1 tools are wrong in some way. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35752
