Consistency issue in book's text - GCC Bootstrapping

I found this partly thanks to "anti-quote" on IRC. In GCC Pass 2,
--disable-bootstrap is added and it is described by saying that
bootstrapping is the default, but it's never explained what
bootstrapping is. Also, in chapter 6 the Makefile is edited to add
-fomit-frame-pointer as that is what bootstrap uses, but that does not
apply either since GCC is not bootstrapped in Pass 2.
I think the description of what "bootstrapping" is should be added back,
probably to the --disable-bootstrap explanation in Pass 2, and the sed
command for -fomit-frame-pointer should be removed.
I would have created a Trac ticket, but Trac appears to be broken at the
moment. I keep seeing stuff like "Warning:
<acct_mgr.web_ui.MessageWrapper object at 0xb68d13ec>" on the top of
every page, and cannot create or edit tickets.
