@janneke holy shit I didn't know that this much progress had been made in bootstrapping. I thought we were still maybe years away from full source bootstrap. incredible work!

@janneke does this work for all architectures that guix supports or a subset?

@dthompson This is currently only i686-linux and x86_64-linux.

Work has been ongoing for ARMv7 (and AArch64) for quite some time now, but is stalled, probably until we have RISC-V.

@janneke thanks! just saw the blog post which answers the question, too. I guess I just needed to wait a few minutes ;)
