I think this is an unfortunate but common bootstrapping problem for
compilers (MIT/GNU Scheme, GCJ/ECJ/IcedTea, GHC, etc.) and there’s not
much we can do about it when the upstream maintainers don’t provide a
way to bootstrap from source.  So I think that’s not great, but that’s
acceptable.

Please add a ‘supported-systems’ field that lists those 3 systems.

OK to push with this change.
