Bootstrapping without texinfo

Is there a way to bootstrap without texinfo? I have an athlon-xp, and it always fails the bootstrap if my CFLAGS show march=athlon-xp, so I emerged sys-apps/texinfo myself, after commenting out my CFLAGS, per this thread. Now my question is how do I get the bootstrap script to not emerge that package once I put my CFLAGS back? I thought portage would just see that it's up-to-date and ignore it, but that is not what happens. When I add the CFLAGS again and bootstrap, it fails at texinfo again.

Previously I tried doing a complete bootstrap without optimized CFLAGS (sort of defeats the purpose of stage 1), but then it failed at groff instead.

Any ideas?

It looks like some people got by a similar problem with cflags intact.
