D’oh, for /gnu/store/qr6wzh818417zmswip1nlf6jglyp7fh2-bzip2-1.0.8.drv
for instance, it’s GCC 5.  How come?

Indeed, make-bootstrap.scm refers to ‘gcc-5’ everywhere.  We should
change it to match ‘gcc-final’, no?  (That probably won’t make it into
‘version-1.3.0’ but we can do that on ‘master’.)

Thanks,
