Well, it *might* help.  Or it might make matters worse :-)

make bootstrap4 is probably worth a try.  If there's a bug in the
bootstrap compiler, stage1 may miss some optimizations so that stage2
ends up different from stage3 but, if you're lucky, stage3 will be
working fine and will compile stage4 exactly as stage2 did compile
stage3, then compare will succeed.  Alternatively, you may `make all'
to build the target libraries, install this compiler regardless of the
compare failures, and use it as the bootstrap compiler for another
round of bootstrapping.
