Yes.  Build and install a recent egcs.

>From then on never do a bootstrap, just various forms of makes.  For
example, one favorite of mine is, `cd gcc && make cc1plus'.  Simple,
short sweet, always works for me.

For non-development builds and for installs, one should clean and
bootstrap as normal.
