That is just a time and storage space 'optimization'.  You are using the 
new compiler to build the libraries not the system 'bootstrap' compiler. 
  The only thing you are skipping is having the new compiler build 
itself to verify that it is working properly.

It I were you, I would just bootstrap the new compiler and use that for 
everything.  That way you would know that you have a consistent set of 
toolchain components (compiler/libraries).
