actually starting with under 1KB worth of binaries we do have a path to
GCC,bash, Glibc, make and Guile (along with support for checksum tools,
archivers, etc)
https://github.com/fosslinux/live-bootstrap

With Diverse Cross-platform compiling producing identical binaries when
presented the same code with the same flags. So even different OS or
hardware should produce identical outputs.

or starting off a POSIX kernel you trust:
