There is no support for continuing a bootstrap at this time.

It's worth mentioning that you also need to remove $prefix before
restarting, otherwise you may waste lots of time on the next run prior
to it failing with 'package is already installed' errors.

Depending on your hardware you may find the --make-jobs option helpful
for speeding it up.  I also have patches to turn libnbcompat into a
shared library, which helps avoid rebuilding it 5 or 6 times per
bootstrap in certain situations.
