You're only using that package to bootstrap. If you're worried about e.g. a
runtime leaking into the final package, build a stage2 and use it to build
the stage3; now the stage2 is the source of your runtime --- but the stage2
should be identical to the stage3 if it is built correctly, and gcc's build
checks that, so in fact the stage3 is using its *own* runtime.
