From a bootstrapping perspective, GCC is not perfect, either, because of the C++ addition in 5.0 (at least I think that's the version.)

So to bootstrap rust this way, you'd need to go GCC 4.2 -> GCC 13+ -> Rust

I meant directly compiling Rust with gccrs, which will be included in gcc toolchain starting gcc13.
