You are right here in that rebootstrap bugs are not automatically RC
bugs. You also notice that very few of the bugs I file are RC bugs as
you received quite a few of them.  So when a package (e.g. gcc-5) FTFBS
(without involving cross toolchains at all) on a release architecture
(e.g. s390x) and built earlier, then that's an RC bug, no?

This is similar to how the reproducible builds result in the filing of
RC bugs. Of course issues found need to be confirmed without the
modified toolchain, but that's what I did by running a native build on
zelenka.d.o.

Please either explain why this native FTBFS is not RC or upgrade its
severity.
