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