Some points to add:
1. In this approach, the gcc gmp circular dependency may be resolved. If
   as ruskie mentioned, build gcc with embedded gmp and mpfr, this
   circular dependency is sure to be resolved.
2. Upstream described installing gcc only in this fashion, not the
   seperate fashion.
3. Users are still allowed to choose the compilers they want, and
   rebuild only what they want. In most cases, this approach only saves
   time.

One drawback I remember what sandalle told me:
make profiledbootstrap* with ada enabled will fail for unknown reason.
We probably should report to gcc.

Cheers,
Charles
