Given that the feature is mostly unused, this change removes it.
Alternate Designs
We could have fixed the feature at the cost of additional complexity.
Possible Drawbacks
Customers that were using this feature as part of their build system might see a failure in the upcoming version - albeit this seems hard given that the feature doesn't work. Converting to run the additional steps is simple enough.
Verification Process
CI/CD.
Release Notes
Removed '--build' option from the bootstrap script.
Identify the Bug
boostrap fails when passed the '--build' option. This is because it goes in conflict with the requirement to build in a separate directory.
