Hi!
I'm working on a full source bootstrap for a GNU system, GuixSD in
particular. With the Mes 0.16 release I thought it was done, but now it
seems I'm stuck.
Using the MesCC C99 compiler written in Guile Scheme, I compiled tcc-0.9.26
and a tiny Mes C library, barely enough to build
binutils-2.20.1, gcc-2.95.3, and glibc-2.2.5
Using those tools, I built
binutils-2.20.1, gcc-4.1.0, and glibc-2.3.6
My attempts to build gcc-4.7.4 are failing, the most common error that I
get is
i386-unknown-linux-gcc --sysroot=/gnu/store/jdjpfzjr2zf3xbf7ssl11ljwpq7spid8-glibc-mesboot-2.3.6/include -g -O2 -O2 -g -O2 -DIN_GCC -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wcast-qual -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wold-style-definition -isystem ./include -fpic -g -DIN_LIBGCC2 -fno-stack-protector -fpic -I. -I. -I../../host-i386-unknown-linux/gcc -I../.././libgcc -I../.././libgcc/. -I../.././libgcc/../gcc -I../.././libgcc/../include -DHAVE_CC_TLS -DUSE_TLS -o _muldi3.o -MT _muldi3.o -MD -MP -MF _muldi3.dep -DL_muldi3 -c ../.././libgcc/libgcc2.c

Gcc-4.7.4 advertises it can be built with gcc-2.95 and binutils-2.13.1
and glibc-2.2.5.
Since mes 0.16 was released two weeks ago I have tried many things, but
not knowing where this error comes makes progress difficult, e.g.: I
didn't manage to compile any glibc > 2.3.6, but that may not be
necessary?
