Do we need to go trough all versions up to 4.14 to compile 5.0 or can 4.09 compile 5.0? >From what I understand, currently only OCaml 4.07 is bootstrapped with camlboot in Guix. I think Julien has done some work towards bootstrapping 4.09 (https://github.com/Ekdohibs/camlboot/issues/59). Also just read this comment (https://github.com/Ekdohibs/camlboot/issues/1#issuecomment-452905768): > As I said on IRC (repeating it here for the record), the idea is to > replace the interpreter written in OCaml by one written in C.

It probably needs more thinking. Sounds like a job for Guile with some C interop and PEGs? :) Cheers, pukkamustard
