 emily | live-bootstrap is a newer thing that goes via a billion OSes etc. | 20:14:58 |
| emily | our thing is the older Linux-only thing, I think based on the Guix chain | 20:15:09 |
 Winter | yep ^^ | 20:16:31 |
| Winter | why is glibc so intertwined with binutils ughhh | 20:17:15 |
| Winter | this would be so much easier if i just didn't have to bootstrap just to change the glibc version even if i'm fine depending on a different (later) glibx | 20:17:46 |

| Winter | i wonder how other distributions that ship {new gcc, old glibc} do it | 20:19:35 |
 Alyssa Ross | Why are you doing thi | 20:19:43 |
| Alyssa Ross | * | 20:19:47 |
| Winter | a stupid hack to build glibc-based binaries/libs that are compatible down to e.g. ubuntu 18.04 | 20:20:33 |
| Alyssa Ross | Do you patchelf them at the end then? | 20:20:58 |
| Winter | yep | 20:21:46 |
| Winter | hm, crosstool-ng seems to get by without the chicken-and-egg of binutils<->libc... | 20:29:19 |
