The other thing we could do is enable it only for stage1 (bootstrap's stage1) by default, just like we do for normal checking[1]. Thanks, Andrew Pinski [1] well that was broken with toplevel bootstrap, see the patch at http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2006-10/msg01231.html for the fix. We could extend this for RTL checking also.
