For example, the .go files produced by Guile are not bit-reproducible yet, due to . I haven=E2=80=99t checked recently whether the packages involved in =E2=80=98bootstrap-tarballs=E2=80=99 are bit-reproducible. It would be use= ful. However, note that the bootstrap binaries we currently use=C2=B9 were built in 2013 for the most part. To rebuild them, you would need to do that from a Guix checkout of that time. I hope this answers your question. Ludo=E2=80=99. =C2=B9 ftp://alpha.gnu.org:/gnu/guix/bootstrap
