Mes 0.27.1 builds using NYACC 2.02.2, which uses srfi-71 only in --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- module/nyacc/lang/c99/ffi-help-bs.scm: #:use-module (srfi srfi-71) module/nyacc/lang/c99/ffi-help-cd.scm: #:use-module (srfi srfi-71) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- and I believe those are not used by mescc? > That last issue in NYACC is about macro expansion¹ and still in > progress.

I’ll contact you separately for patches. Good, please use bug-...@gnu.org for that conversation. I have already created a "wip-bootstrap-x86_64" in Mes with one big patch (the result of they "path-source" stage), which may be helpful. That needs to be split up, of course. I'm still wondering how you got upstream TCC to compile, as I don't really see (m)any fixes/additions for "float" or "double" in mescc; and in TCC I only see --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ;; Prevent support for the C decimal floating point extension. "--disable-decimal-float" ;; Mes does not support long double. "-DTCC_USING_DOUBLE_FOR_LDOUBLE" --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- where "bootstrappable-tcc" used to have a quite large patch set to disable floats for compilation with mescc. Is the "--disable-decimal-float" a new, bootstrappable-friendly feature of TCC, and does that do the job for us?
