Thanks!

Mes[0] aims to help create full source bootstrapping for GNU/Linux
distributions such as GuixSD[1] as part of the bootstrappable builds[2]
effort.
It consists of a mutual self-hosting Scheme interpreter written in
~5,000LOC of simple C and a Nyacc-based C compiler written in Scheme.
> As I could figure out, GuixSD is a (new) GNU package manager, right?
Correct. Guix is the packagage manager, GuixSD (for System Distribution) is
GNU's GNU/Linux distribution built around it.
> I think you mentioned TCC, scheme, own header files etc.
This MesCC compiler comes with three sizes of Mes lib C: libc for
building mes.c, libc+tcc for building TCC. Then, there is libc+gnu that
is used together with TCC to build binutils-2.20a and gcc-2.95.3.
> Did you still had to use also the old gcc 2.95.3 ?
We are using gcc 2.95.3 as the first GCC compiler mainly because (after
many experiments with versions from 1.40 to 4.1) it proved the most
"bootstrappable" GCC. GCC 3 introduces a dependency on dirent, e.g.,
that our naive C library does not support.
If we make our libc+gnu richer then we can probably target a newer GCC,
but it's not obvious to me what the bootstrap consequences of that are.
> What's the goal, and why especially that target version gcc 4.7.4 ?
GCC 4.7.4 is currently used as one of the bootstrap binaries of GuixSD.
Also, it's the most recent GCC compiler that can be considered to be
directly bootstrappable. I don't consider building a c++ bootstrap
compiler ;-)
The goal is to replace the x86 bootstrap of GNU/Linux distributions,
using a bootstrap [mostly] from source instead of what currently
happens: seeding it with a very large blob of bootstrap binaries.
GuixSD seems the best place to develop this in.

Thanks for showing interest!
