Ah I was confused, WITH_SYSTEM_COMPILER is actually the default, and it
means that you want to skip building the bootstrap compiler, and just
use the host compiler. The src.conf(5) man page documents the inverse
settings instead:
WITHOUT_SYSTEM_COMPILER
Do not opportunistically skip building a cross-compiler =
during
the bootstrap phase of the build. Normally, if the =
currently
installed compiler matches the planned bootstrap compiler =
type
and revision, then it will not be built. This does not =
prevent a
compiler from being built for installation though, only for
building one for the build itself. The WITHOUT_CLANG =
option
controls that.
WITHOUT_SYSTEM_LINKER
Do not opportunistically skip building a cross-linker =
during the
bootstrap phase of the build. Normally, if the currently
installed linker matches the planned bootstrap linker type =
and
revision, then it will not be built. This does not prevent =
a
linker from being built for installation though, only for
building one for the build itself. The WITHOUT_LLD option
controls that.
This option is only relevant when WITH_LLD_BOOTSTRAP is =
set.
I find the double negative phrasing "do not skip" always confusing. But
the logic is normally:
* The early phase of buildworld retrieves the versions of your host's
compiler and linker
* It compares it against the versions in the source tree
* If the host compiler and linker are deemed "good enough", they are
used as-is
* If the host compiler or linker are not suitable, the compiler or
linker are bootstrapped from the source tree
But WITH_SYSTEM_COMPILER turns off all these checks and forces it to use
the host compiler, which might or might not work, depending on the
circumstances. You may have to use NO_WERROR or other tricks.

Yes, this is a bit confusing, but in fact it *can* be a real cross
compiler, if you are targeting another architecture, for example doing
"make buildworld TARGET=3Darm64" from an x86_64 host.
And of course if you are building natively, it is 'just' a regular
bootstrap compiler.
