My point was to inform you (and Felix, who requested info on 2.315 
installation results) that installation - means bootstrapping - works w/ 
the mentioned tool chain, which again means no bootstrapping from old 
versions required at all w/ the mentioned tool chain. Maybe I just 
missed the point of your exercise ;)
