Already needed and used for cross-compilation.

I'm not sure how difficult it will be. It's tedious enough that the
last time I thought about it, I just left a note next to
"no-cgc-needed" in "racket/src/racket/Makefile.in", but maybe it's
worth pursuing now.

How difficult would it be to allow the bootstrap process to use a
preexisting Racket installation? This would alleviate some of the
performance loss, for example in rebuilds by developers or in continuous
integration.
