But this lets you schedule native bootstrapping further down the chain,
at which point you need to have all languages working _anyway_! Unless
"for development" you mean "just C".
Well, you have to start someplace. And it's harder to first bootstrap
a C++ compiler than a C compiler simply because it's a more complex
language. You don't get the native compilers until you start porting
them. The cross-compilers only get you so far.
