Depending on how _old_ your currently running world is this may or may not be possible. This is not different from the bootstrap-tools approarch in Makefile.inc1. If your currently running world is nearly the same as the world about to be released by "make release", the chances are 100% they will bootstrap. This was a prerequisite for the old version, as you may have already known.
