This creates a chicken-and-egg problem that leads users and distributors to rely on opaque, pre-built binaries of those compilers that they use to build newer versions of the compiler. our goal is to minimize the amount of bootstrap binaries. This is nice, but what are the actual benefits of "bootstrappable" implementations? Find out what additional benefits there are to achieving bootstrappable builds. Are you developing or contributing to software that is affected by the bootstrapping problem? Here we list best practices and practical examples Collaboration projects Solving bootstrapping problems in existing compilers and build systems requires collaboration. Here is a list of long-term high-impact projects More projects and status updates can be found on the bootstrapping wiki.
