That’s the same for all the GCC variants, including ‘gcc-core-mesboot0’,
which was the inspiration for this one.  I think the main reason is that
“it’s difficult” (there’s a dependency on DejaGNU, the fact that you
cannot expect all tests to pass, and the fact that many tests would
probably need to be adjusted.)

In this case I didn’t even try, but since it’s an ancient package, it’s
even more likely to be problematic, and since it’s only used for
bootstrapping, I would not bother as long as it’s good enough to build
ghc@4.

Thoughts?
