I don't think this is true - it's merely the common case:
Over at https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/building/bootstrapping.html
the description is

> The stage0 compiler is usually the current beta rustc compiler and its
associated
> dynamic libraries, which x.py will download for you.
> (You can also configure x.py to use something else.)

which makes it hardly any different than any compiler bootstrapping process.
