Would love to see someone try to automate the bootstrap chain from a working C89 compiler to Rust.

At this point I think current LLMs are able help these incredible feats of bootstrapping as they can grind out the impossibly long built times over multiple days/weeks.

I am very optimistic for deterministic builds in general.
