     69          <para>For a native build, GCC defaults to performing a 3-stage
     70          "bootstrap" of the compiler. This means that GCC is compiled a total
     71          of 3 times - it is compiled once, the first stage compiler is used
     72          to build itself again, and the second stage compiler builds itself
     73          once more. The second and third passes are then compared, verifying
     74          that GCC is able to reproduce itself successfully. However, there is
     75          no need for this with the CLFS build process so we disable it here.</para>
