I should have clarified this with you.

You're right. This isn't necessary with build==host. You can use the
intermediate compiler if build==host && host!=target. I am explicitly
setting build and host, which is why I'm not seeing the issues you're
describing. I have to rush out now, but will talk more when I get back.
If Tom's listening, he has a black belt in this and could chime in too.
