Hi Brett,
Thank you for the explanations.

I have not checked myself and if I understand well your point: CakeML
requires one PolyML binary to bootstrap (see Bootstrapping locally in
[1] which points to [2]). And this PolyML binary is not small and
requires other not-so-small binaries to be produced. And I am not
talking about the HOL part. So their claim that CakeML bootstraps
really depends on how is defined "bootstrap". :-)

Yes, for sure a clean path from a reduced set of small binaries to a
full ML compiler would be really great! Challenging project. :-)
All the best,
