Let me rephrase.

I don't have to the time to look at every bootstrap problem.  Particularly
when they happen when folks use BOOT_CFLAGS.

99.9% of my builds are "make bootstrap".  Problems with "make bootstrap" will
be my focus.


Folks that want to use BOOT_CFLAGS to do a nonstandard bootstrap are either
going to have to wait much longer to get their problems resolved or start
resolving them themselves.  I simply do not have the time to deal with fixing
bootstrapping problems for every port.  I simply can not do it.
