Hello Guix!
As stikonas (Andrius Štikonas) rightfully pointed out on #guix, Flex and
Bison are currently not entirely built from source in Guix: their source
tarballs contain Flex- and/or Bison-generated files.
The problem and a solution are described here:
https://gitlab.com/giomasce/nbs/
The “live-bootstrap” project also implements a multi-stage bootstrap:
https://github.com/fosslinux/live-bootstrap/blob/master/sysa/heirloom-devtools-070527/heirloom-devtools-070527.kaem
https://github.com/fosslinux/live-bootstrap/blob/master/sysa/flex-2.5.11/flex-2.5.11.sh
https://github.com/fosslinux/live-bootstrap/blob/master/sysa/flex-2.6.4/flex-2.6.4.sh
https://github.com/fosslinux/live-bootstrap/tree/master/sysa/bison-3.4.1
Let’s follow their lead on the next core-updates cycle.
Thanks stikonas for the links!
Ludo’.
