I did a gcc-7-branch bootstrap shortly before the gcc-7.3 release
using a fedora bootstrap disk image running on qemu.  I haven't had
enough hardware access to be able to do a gcc bootstrap on hardware.
I have hardware now, but there are a number of things I need to test,
and I'm not sure when I will be able to try a gcc bootstrap.
