Dependency on an existing Rust compiler during GCC bootstrap process.
1 comments

You already need an existing C++ compiler to bootstrap GCC though I don't see how this is much different. Plus there is already mrustc as a C++ Rust implementatation specifically designed for bootstrapping.
It is one more dependency, not written in C++, and you don't see the difference?
