I've done a test. Hopefully I made the correct assumptions here:

* Build as per usual up to gcc-pass2

* Build gcc-pass2 according to instructions *execpt* do not add 
-fomit-frame-pointer to XCFLAGS in gcc/Makefile.in and do not use 
--disable-bootstrap. Use DESTDIR to install to $LFS/sources/gcc-bootstrap

* Clean and build gcc-pass2 exactly according to book instructions, 
meaning with -fomit-frame-pointer and --disable-bootsrap. Install to 
$LFS/sources/gcc-nobootstrap

* diff -r gcc-bootstrap gcc-nobootstrap

I'm getting differences on the binaries gcc, g++, c++ and cpp. The sizes 
are even different. I'm also getting differences on the libraries. If 
I'm testing this incorrectly, Greg, please let me know what needs to change.
