There's nothing else to do for this atm, but marking as draft because I don't want this merged until after the release(even though this shouldn't break anything) |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
From what I can see and test, this looks reasonable to me, but not really that deep into minimal-bootstrap to do an in-depth review, but don't want to see this laying around for a long time.
Gives us smaller bootstrap tarballs, better M2-Planet, and more.
…ble-2024-07-07 Updated to work with mes 0.27
Disable chdir_long support since even though the symbol exists, it can't be found, which causes build errors.
These caused the build to fail, so they had to be removed.
…flush.patch The upstream version of this patch has been commented out since 913e70d, due to error: implicit declaration of function '__stdio_exit' Revived this approach by updating the patch to forward declare.

TL;DR: For a full breakdown, look at the commits individually. I know things are a bit scattered, but this has taken a while and it has been hard to disentangle some things.
This is a general update of the currently-existing minimal-bootstrap package set in nixpkgs. There are a few updates of the core tools, notably
stage0-posixgoing from 1.6.0 to 1.9.1, which gives us smaller seeds and better compilers. There are also new builds of nyacc(to work with the new mes version from stage0-posix), bootstrappable tinycc, and various patches.Things done
