Then why not have a *new* target with the *new* (restart-in-middle)
functionality instead of changing the "bootstrap" target?  The name
"bootstrap-restart" comes to mind. :-)

BTW, all stages should be built in the same directory (like
now), or you risk debugging info being different and failing to
compare.
