I think its worth considering.  Its not too difficult to do.

Its bad to set it automatically unless there is also a flag to turn it
off, e.g. we would need to add a LINUX_BOOTSTRAP or a
WITHOUT_NATIVE_BOOTSTRAP.

Identical.

Its _my_ long term goal, whether its a goal of people in general I can't
say.

I would have to say no.  This would make life unnecessarily difficult
for users installing a JDK for the first time (if they did it with
portinstall).  People may also choose to do this a different way (for
example, I have this setting in make.conf, not pkgtools.conf).

> Is it possible to build jdk13 with a native or non native jdk14?

I haven't tried this.  I can only say that in general you need the same
version to do the bootstrapping.  You certainly can't bootstrap jdk14
with jdk13.
