I agree that this sort of thing can be annoying, but the procedure for
dealing with such things is well known and not particular onerous:
"make bootstrap" (could be a bit onerous if you've got a very slow
machine though)

Moreover, it happens very rarely -- I'd guess only a few times a year,
and far less often than the more usual sort of problem where somebody
just committed a bogus change that simply doesn't compile (though that
kind of problem is fairly rare too).

I don't know how you get "the pain level is too high" out of that...
