<aggi>so, next one: i'll re-test compilation of the entire TinyCC/OS profile with sys-devel/binutils wiped
<aggi>to re-confirm none of it's utils were picked by some configure/make by accident anywhere
<aggi>i do see already, dev-lang/perl-5.36.0 perlcross does need readelf ...
<aggi>it's just a sanity check
<aggi>then next, i'll re-write linux-tcc kernel bootsect.S pieces for as86/nasm/whatever... so self-hosting of the entire system is confirmed without binutils then too
<aggi>i kept in mind the original tccboot from bellard too, if rewritten this could shorten the kernel-bootstrap towards a linux-2.4 directly
<aggi>without SMP in this case, but that's no major concern since SMP support can be spawn easily later
<aggi>not sure if tccboot would be helpful, because tccboot does need a gcc/tcc itself, hence live-bootstrap must arrive at tcc in any case
<aggi>long story short, i want to accomplish a complete bootstrap arriving at TinyCC/OS _without_ gcc/binutils involved
<aggi>and then utilize this as development host to spawn gcc/binutils, to keep those optional
