Perfect. How far in are you?

I just checked, and it seems like they got rid of the C sources to
bootstrap with, but they still have the C codegen backend. Now that
AArch64 is going to be a bigger arch for many package managers/repos
to build for, with Apple Silicon and all, even if it's just people
virtualising on their Macs, I think it'd be really helpful for upstream
to publish C source releases.

What do you reckon?

Cheers,
Habib
