Let's elaborate, simple things are the most hard to grok, the nature law
called entropy states that
the world goes towards more disorder, to more complicated systems all
the time :(

and you will see that what you are claiming is pure bullshit! A cross
compiler as default requires
only one build stage, if you see something else claimed elsewhere,
please don't believe it!
"Bootstrap" in a native GCC builld is a 3-stage process, a cross GCC
build doesn't use it!
If one wants Java, then a 2-stage build process is obligatory :
"If the cross compiler is to be built with support for the Java
programming language and the
ability to compile .java source files is desired, the installed
native compiler used to build the
cross compiler needs to be the same GCC version as the cross
compiler. In addition the
cross compiler needs to be configured with --with-ecj-jar=.... "
The first build stage would be to build a native "boostrap GCC" from the
same sources and
then use this "stage 1" GCC to build the cross GCC, this being the
"stage 2"...
