But GCC's bootstrapping binaries are in contrast to providing the freedom to study how the program works, or being able to change it however you wish. Mystery goop that is required to build the software that builds your operating system and the programs that run on it is a dilemma for free software. It took years of work to solve, and now that it has there is no good excuse for shipping bootstrapping blobs.
