I noticed this same issue the other day. Check out commit 2ee2e2721367cc242ceb0e4b364468870a87f0b4: https://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/gash/gash-utils.git/commit/?id=2ee2e2721367cc242ceb0e4b364468870a87f0b4 I recommend that you take a look at the “wip-gcc-mesboot” branch. It has a couple “from the hip” changes that I made while looking at getting Gash-Utils to handle more of the work in “commencement.scm”. Last week I was able to build to “gcc-mesboot1” with only Make, Diffutils, patch, and Gzip (the first three were there before the “Scheme-only” bootstrap, and Gzip saves writing “(delete 'compress-documentation)” over and over). Unfortunately, building Glibc after that is quite difficult. To do it with Gash-Utils, we would need (at least) to support redirects in AWK and the “-t” and “-k” flags in sort. For fun, I tried building Gawk and Coreutils at this point (using the ancient versions that we bootstrap with now). That let me build Glibc, but then I hit a problem with the “po2test.sed” script while building “gcc-mesboot”. I tried again with ancient GNU Sed, but the build seemed to hang during a configure test. I suspect adding Bash to the mix might fix it, but I haven’t tried yet.... Back to the matter at hand: I’m closing this bug since it’s already been fixed. :) -- Tim
