Well, all these sequential "mass rebuilds" are useful for, is to check 
whether the current toolchain can build a previously buildable package :)

They do not mean the resulting packages are more or less broken than 
those having been built by predecessors of the toolchains.

[Remember, in recent years, we have several times been hit by cases when 
rebuilts inherited bugs from e.g. rpm, glibc, or GCC.]
