OK, I fixed all 10 tests that the Mes bootstrap broke; make check now shows no regressions so I created core-updates-next 0db65c168fd6dec57a357735fe130c80feba5460. (There is one failure that's also present in core-updates, I will help to look at that too.) Special attention for two tests: tests/builders.scm: "gnu-build-system" tests/union.scm: "union-build" These test now pass but they build most of Mes bootstrap in ./test-tmp, which takes quite a bit of time with the new Mes bootstrap. I suspect this is what Ludovic remarked that some tests may assume that `gcc' can be built rather fast. Thoughts? TODO: * regenerate Mes bootstrap seeds, put them on ftp.gnu.org * slow tests: "gnu-build-system", "union-build" * doc: make "Reduced Binary Seed Bootstrap" subsection in Bootstrapping * doc: update “Preparing to Use the Bootstrap Binaries” * doc: update “Reducing the Set of Bootstrap Binaries” janneke
