So, how much faster does GCC now build or bootstrap with your
change? (Or to be fair, a proof-of-concept-tweaked Makefile.in
to remove supposedly-eliminable $(TM_P_H) or somesuch.)
I really hope port mechanisms haven't been made more complex
based on *assumptions* of *build-only* speed improvements.
