The problem with this is that the resulting binary will differ from
the binary produced by a normal bootstrap. It would be particularly
troublesome if you (or anyone else) were ever to distribute a
binary release of a gcc produced by this method, resulting possibly
in bug reports that cannot be duplicated.
At least do stage 2 (the only purpose for stage 3 is the check).
