I am still looking at it, but since this patch (but at least from
a timing perspective), it looks like "make install" uses the build
compiler, not the just built compiler, and hence fails when the
former is older and does not grok flags supported in newer versions
of GCC.
(This may also predate this change, and for some reason now make
install invokes builds when it did not do so earlier, or it is
something different, but something's odd.)
