I wouldn't be that dogmatic.
a) If we build kaffeh first, use it create the derived headers from the
provided Klasses.jar, that seems fine to me too.
b) For the libraries, we first rely on the "fixed set of tools" you're
referring to, except maybe kaffeh.
c) After that, we try to use what we just built to compile the libraries
again, just like gcc stage1 compiles gcc stage2.
a) would occur in every build, b) only if you changed the .java files,
c) only after b) if you want to test your changes more thoroughly.
