As stikonas (Andrius =C5=A0tikonas) rightfully pointed out on #guix, Flex a= nd Bison are currently not entirely built from source in Guix: their source tarballs contain Flex- and/or Bison-generated files. The problem and a solution are described here: https://gitlab.com/giomasce/nbs/ The =E2=80=9Clive-bootstrap=E2=80=9D project also implements a multi-stage = bootstrap: https://github.com/fosslinux/live-bootstrap/blob/master/sysa/heirloom-dev= tools-070527/heirloom-devtools-070527.kaem https://github.com/fosslinux/live-bootstrap/blob/master/sysa/flex-2.5.11/= flex-2.5.11.sh https://github.com/fosslinux/live-bootstrap/blob/master/sysa/flex-2.6.4/f= lex-2.6.4.sh https://github.com/fosslinux/live-bootstrap/tree/master/sysa/bison-3.4.1 Let=E2=80=99s follow their lead on the next core-updates cycle.
