And still for all the focus on projecting safety and trust of the compiled programs, you'd think it would be relatively easy to compile `rustc` from source so that people and Linux distros don't need to trust the `rustc` from the GitHub repository.

But unfortunately you need to do a gazillion compilation steps if you want to build the latest `rustc` from scratch.

I honestly can't wait until gccrs is good enough to allow us take a shortcut and be able to bootstrap a `rustc` in a reasonable amount of time and steps.
