The problem is how to define `last'. Currently, one can do `make
all', `make bootstrap' and `make bootstrap4' all in the same tree. If
we start building stages in subdirectories, we'd probably lose this
ability, and I can see people complaining more loudly about this loss
than about the need for deleting stage stamp files before bootstrap
will start scratch.
