The manual doesn't explain --disable-bootstrap clear enough (at least not for me). It only says that the compiler is not bootstrapped, but doesn't say what is done instead. You clarified the issue for me a lot. So far, everything works fine with the new libraries and I hope it will stay that way. Should I run into problems however, I will certainly follow your guidance.
