While we're on the topic: work on minimal-bootstrap in #nixpkgs has actually been picked up again since this thesis was written (October 2025).
Not only that but, as of a few hours ago, the PR implementing the last step of hooking it up to become the actual bootstrap stdenv in Nixpkgs has been merged!

I was just reviewing the new x86 hex0 bootstrap seed: https://github.com/oriansj/stage0-posix-x86/blob/master/hex0_x86.hex0. Big thanks to Noah Goldstein for making it smaller.
Now it is only 190 bytes. Excluding ELF header that's only 106 bytes of code.
For a couple of years hex0 binary was 256 bytes and before that hex0 was 357 bytes (this is the number that is still mentioned in https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Full_002dSource-Bootstrap.html).

@janneke and I were trying to fix 64-bit (#amd64 for now) #GnuMes bootstrap. After applying some fixes to M2-Planet and #mes we were able to bootstrap mes-m2 binary from #hex0. And it's working well enough to rebuild itself with #mescc.
This is expected to be in the next releases of mes 0.25 and M2-Planet 0.11.

Just like in the case of #CollapseOS or the #Guix minimal bootstrap project with #stage0 , #mes and #mescc that means cutting down on complexity and rebasing the history of actual events, so that iterations can.be short-circuited and the chain from very low technological sophistication to the level that can fulfill the task can be kept as short as possible. -
