Hi Arne,

You can see the current bootstrap path here:

    https://bootstrappable.org/projects/mes.html

This is without the path from virtually nothing to mes + mescc tools,
i.e. mes and mescc tools currently are bootstrap binaries here.

You can see in the graph that =E2=80=9Cbootstrap-binaries=E2=80=9D is a col=
lection of
statically linked binaries including tar, gzip, patch, coreutils, etc.
Most if not all of these could be removed with Gash.
