<stikonas>interestingly, I found out that installation prefix in livebootstrap (currently /after) cannot be completely arbitrary. I suspect most values work but there is one that doesn't. Anybody wants to guess :D ?
<oriansj>stikonas: /proc ?
<oriansj>or /dev
<stikonas>well, those would probably fail too
<stikonas>it's actually /usr
<stikonas>one would need to work quite a bit harder to support it
<stikonas>but luckily we don't need it and can use any other prefix
<stikonas>something goes wrong with gcc includes (and we do disable gcc's fixincludes because that needs autogen)
<oriansj>stikonas: interesting.
<stikonas>yeah, that was very surprising
<stikonas>I was splitting installation image out of /after (so that after only has build scripts and temporary build directories) and installed files would go somewhere else
<stikonas>and started with /usr and went all the way to 2nd rebuild of gcc, and then next package (bash 5.1) was failing to compile
<stikonas>looked a bit at it but eventually decided to cut losses short and switched to another prefix (redoing the checksums now)
