Projects like GNU Mes are part of the Bootstrappable Builds effort[0]. Another great achievement in that area is the live-bootstrap project, which has automated a build pipeline that goes from a minimal binary seed up to tinycc then gcc 4 and beyond.[1] [0] https://www.bootstrappable.org/ https://www.bootstrappable.org/ [1] https://github.com/fosslinux/live-bootstrap/blob/master/parts.rst#66gcc-404 https://github.com/fosslinux/live-bootstrap/blob/master/part...

I feel the need to point out that the "Bootstrappable Builds" project is a working group from a Reproducible Builds project which where interested in the next step beyond reproducing binaries. Obviously this project has seen most effort from Guix :) The GNU Mes C experiment mentioned above was also conducted during the 2019 Reproducible Builds summit in Marrakesh. https://reproducible-builds.org/events/Marrakesh2019/ https://reproducible-builds.org/events/Marrakesh2019/
