janneke pushed a commit to branch wip-bootstrap
in repository guix.
commit 622c80bdef53f779dfa71ddb5ce18014b00df4b3
Author: Jan Nieuwenhuizen <[email protected]>
Date: Thu Aug 30 06:56:41 2018 +0200
Add new cheat: use %bootstrap-glibc for x86 for now.
Our bootstrapped glibc-2.2.5 is barely enough to build gnu-make-boot0, but
that needs patching.
To build diffutils-boot0 proved even more complicated (no success yet).
To build a second glibc-mesboot-2.3.6 (or other versions) is a work in
progess, also proves difficult.
* gnu/packages/commencement.scm (%bootstrap-inputs+toolchain): Add new
cheat:
use %bootstrap-glibc.
