<Hagfish>if we're guessing directory names that don't work, my guess is /..

<stikonas>well, / was alraedy messed up by stage0-posix :D

<stikonas>so live-bootstrap tries to escape into some subdirectory

<stikonas>(that's basically because we don't have cd in the initial kaem, which is fine I guess)

<oriansj>stikonas: there are solutions available for that issue with stage0-posix if you consider them enough of an issue that needs to be addressed.

<Melg8[m]> oriansj i'm in process of re-check of issues after fixes, added comment in https://github.com/oriansj/M2-Planet/issues/18

<stikonas>oriansj: I think it's fine for now (regarding statge0-posix), there are definitely higher priority issues

<oriansj>Melg8[m]: thank you for checking my work ^_^

<oriansj>and I have a new fix for the global arrays up

<oriansj>program is getting rather large dealing with globals, so I probably should clean that up a bit

<oriansj>and now struct foo a[100]; and char bar[42]; do the correct thing.

<stikonas>oh, now I'm moving installed stuff into a separte directory and perl is huge

<stikonas>the whole installed image before perl 5.32 was 105 MiB (that's including gcc). After perl it is 159 MiB

<Hagfish>does Perl come with a load of modules that aren't actually used?

<Hagfish>(it would be interesting to get some code coverage report to see which parts of which source files actually make it into the binaries)

<Hagfish>(that would probably require completely rewriting the compilers, though, to keep track of that sort of thing)

<stikonas>Hagfish: well, probably we are not using most of the modules

<stikonas>but it's mostly unnecessary work to trim it down

<Hagfish>of course, yes

<stikonas>but it's a modern perl...

<Hagfish>it would perhaps only be interesting to have this data from the perspective of which parts of the code should be audited more carefully
