Sadly, we are not there yet. The gcc/glibc build is still not done.
The full source bootstrap is "almost ready" and is waiting for a GNU Mes
release. It was wating for an M2-Planet release but that happened last
week! I'm not sure about a time frame here though. A week, hmm?

I haven't really caught-up here and am still wondering here about things
like
("foo-for-build" ,foo)
("patch-bar" ,(search-patch ...))
but that's prolly addressed. I'll look into this.
Greetings,
