I'm sorry if this is confusing. It will go away as soon as GCC 4.1
branches.
In 4.2, we'll have *toplevel* bootstrap enabled by default. This is
what you saw indicated as "@if gcc-bootstrap", and it means that the
toplevel orchestrates a 3-stage build of libiberty, binutils, and
everything else up to gcc. In this case it will just work because
stage1 will use the system assembler/linker, and stage2/3 will use the
previous stage of the in-tree assembler/linker: there is no need to do
"all-prebootstrap", because the packages in "all-prebootstrap" are all
bootstrapped (together with GCC).
BTW, with toplevel bootstrap, it could make much more sense to use a
unified tree in a native configuration.
For 4.1, you need --enable-bootstrap to enable toplevel bootstrap. But
the default is still non-toplevel bootstrap, and in that case making
"all-prebootstrap" is still handled with dependencies:
$(GCC_STRAP_TARGETS): all-prebootstrap configure-gcc
@r=`pwd`; export r; \
etc.
