Guix bootstrapping project

This project aims to resolve self hosted compilers used in the Guix project. The bootstrap stages so far:

• (stage0/mescc-tools) Building up from hex to mes
• (GNU Mes/mescc) A c compiler written in scheme, able to build tcc.
• (tcc-boot) guix package, the result of mes.
• Using tcc-boot, glibc, binutils, gcc, and linux can be built.

OCaml bootstrapping (done)

This project has successfully bootstrapped OCaml 4.07: https://github.com/Ekdohibs/camlboot

It should be possible to build later versions using it.

Aesop, a Pascal and Nim bootstrap

Old Nim versions require FPC; FPC requires FPC. The Aesop (An Extensive Subset of Object Pascal) compiler aims to bootstrap it.
