It won't be. They plan to use the exact same code!

Rust is designed to compile fine without any borrow checking (it reduces it to the C level of safety, but valid programs generate valid code).

GCC will compile itself without a borrow checker. Then it will compile the existing borrow checker written in Rust, and then recompile itself with borrow checking.
