OK. Thanks for clarification. I thought that "AVR" and "Arduino" are
somehow synonyms.

I see. CUP requires at least cup.jar and jflex.jar. jfex.jar uses
jflex.jar... 

I took a quick look: Jflex 1.4.1's LexParse.java:

https://github.com/jflex-de/jflex/blob/release_1_4_1/jflex/src/JFlex/LexParse.java

was generated by CUPS v0.10.k.

And if you download that:

http://www2.cs.tum.edu/projects/cup/releases/

the 0.10.k's parser.java was generated by CUP v0.10k...

And that doesn't look like it counts as source code:

  /** Production table. */
  protected static final short _production_table[][] = 
    unpackFromStrings(new String[] {
    "\000\153\000\002\002\004\000\002\055\002\000\002\003" +
    "\012\000\002\003\007\000\002\056\002\000\002\004\006" +
    "\000\002\004\003\000\002\005\004\000\002\005\003\000" +
[..]

Is it that what you meant by bootstrapping from binaries?

It would be so simple, if one just wouldn't care ...
