This is going to make life a living hell on those of us who have to debug
codegen bugs in 3-stage bootstraps.  We really need the ability to mix and
match .o files between stages and to be able to use *any* suitable host
compiler during any stage when tracking down staged codegen problems.

I'd really prefer not to go down the road of rerunning configure.  I just
do not think it's really necessary and it just makes are life much more
difficult than it needs to be.
