This is useful for several cases:

- Checking changes to the standard library with `cfg(not(bootstrap))`
- Checking platform-specific changes to the compiler. In particular,
  checking with stage 1 doesn't require having a cross-compiling C native
  toolchain, unlike building.
- Testing newly added internal lints without having to rebuild
  rustc_middle twice

It is also very easy to support.

Otherwise, we may not have MIR for the standard library available:

```
error: internal compiler error: compiler/rustc_mir/src/monomorphize/collector.rs:826:9: cannot create local mono-item for DefId(2:6820 ~ core[92cf]::fmt::{impl#2}::new_v1)
```

The current error after this change is

```
