Great!

Currently, we avoid using non-bootstrapped binaries in the bootstrap,
that includes 'xz'; earlier in the bootstrap that includes also 'patch'.

See also gcc-core-mesboot0: it applies the patch in a manual phase.  So
I'm not sure if we want to start depending on 'xz' an this stage?

Greetings,
