Comment (by Phyx-):

 @bollu, yeah, that seems like a reasonable thing to do,
 but I wouldn't go messing with your stage0 compiler (e.g. the one you use
 to compile the git source with the first time).

 Just do a normal compile and corrpupt the stage2 compiler in the folder
 `inplace` that gets created.
