Independent bootstrap paths could be of value to check that the result
compares identical to what you get in a bootstrap starting with GCC, i.e.
to reduce the chance of a self-perpetuating miscompilation. More
generally in this regard competition in the form of multiple compilers
that can compile each other and be compared against each other is good.
