To paint the picture for people listening in: Next to ARM it may need some Guix skills, or even more work to reproduce our experimental ARM bootstrap outside of Guix. I'm a bit hesitant about the timing, because I cannot make much time the coming week. A very short summary of where we are, on wip-arm-bootstrap, building gawk-mesboot0 --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ./pre-inst-env guix build -e '(@@ (gnu packages commencement) gawk-mesboot0)' --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- produces a gawk binary that fails to increment a variable --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- 11:35:59 janneke@novena:~/src/wip-arm-bootstrap [env] $ /gnu/store/f756xxxqj3mabaax5r4ldrxh01a9q54r-gawk-mesboot0-3.0.0/bin/gawk -f add.awk add.awk i=1 i=2 11:36:14 janneke@novena:~/src/wip-arm-bootstrap [env] $ /gnu/store/f756xxxqj3mabaax5r4ldrxh01a9q54r-gawk-mesboot0-3.0.0/bin/gawk -f inc.awk inc.awk i= 0 i= 0 11:36:27 janneke@novena:~/src/wip-arm-bootstrap [env] --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- So could be anything, could bin in tcc-boot or in gawk-mesboot0... Thanks for reaching out! Greetings, Janneke
