I figured you or your team would be monitoring the upstream lists
for this stuff.  I'm thinking specifically about the fixes for GCC
BZ 59909 which fixes a power8 bootstrap failure.  The patch for that
was checked in about a week ago.

A failure to build GCC generally doesn't trigger a need to rebuild
the thousands of packages built WITH GCC.

Also, there's a big difference between a full rebuild (which is a
totally automatic procedure) and a full rebootstrap (which requires a
lot of manual work and/or workarounds).
Agreed.
