<Hagfish>It's called... Afterimage of a Crimson Eye. <Hagfish>(the PR looks great, but i'm sure fossy will appreciate it) <fossy>compiling linux kernel needs quite recent software :| <fossy>even 2.6 needs a newer version of binutils then we have <fossy>stikonas[m]: will look in a moment <oriansj>well once we have bootstrapped Linux, binutils, gcc and guile. You have literally everything Guix needs to be a foundation. <fossy>finally i found a working version <fossy>although that limits us to pre-2014 glibc (which is fine) <fossy>so then we can go new binutils, new kernel, new glibc, new kernel, new glibc, new binutils, new gcc i think <oriansj>Nice to finally have a wedge into Linux bootstrapping. <stikonas>fossy: well, at some point we can build newer binutils... <stikonas>although, I think it makes sense to try to minimize the number of different old binutils/gcc/libc versions that we have <stikonas>for libc it's not too bad because musl is new enough that it even supports riscv <stikonas>for binutils/gcc so far we have one version each <stikonas>but maybe we can already build newest binutils? <stikonas>oh, but I guess it makes sense to wait for guile and augoten ***edef_ is now known as edef
<stikonas>hmm, I think we might have to build a newer C only gcc first before we can build guile <stikonas>strange, looking at configure.ac, C99 should be enough though <Hagfish>i wouldn't be surprised if this bootstrapping project uncovered some half-truths in other projects' documentation
