This sounds like a very good approach for compilers written in their
own language. Same will be true for the D compilers. The D compiler
was recently ported to D and the authors say they will aim to keep
support for bootstrapping from C - but they added it may grow
complicated over time. I think the Elixir compiler will also be ported
to Elixer in time... there have been some noises.
The bootstrapping from source is a fine idea(l), but not always
practical for package authors.
Interesting point is if we can share one such cross-building binary
compiler for all target platforms, or are we going to store binaries
for each of them?
