1.79 can definitely NOT build 1.82
In general at the moment we only guarantee that you can build N+1 from N,
and even then there can be some difficult cases (in particular building
1.81 from 1.80 is tricky, the readme has full details but they are tricky
to follow -- some have succeeded, but some have had trouble).
There are two reasons for bootstrap path problems of this type. First we
are using more features as we go along and as they are available to us.
Second runtime library incojmpatibilties cause trouble (we are trying to
work out an approach to minimize the second problem)
