With recent versions, thanks to the magic of top-level bootstrap, `make' 
should give you a compiler and libraries byte-for-byte identical to what 
you'd have got if you did the recompile-it dance. (Older versions wouldn't 
have recompiled libiberty with the new compiler before linking that 
compiler with it; top-level bootstrap has fixed that.)
