believe.  Now we build the stage1 libcpp with the system compiler,
build the stage1 gcc with the system compiler, link them together,
and go on to build the stage2 libcpp with the stage1 gcc.

No it was not Darwin (this is one of the places where the FSF GCC is correct
with respect of Darwin), but instead using 2.95.3 to bootstrap. When you started
with 2.95.3, bool (as stdbool.h was included with 2.95.3) was an int.
