Bootstapping is so complex, here's 181-step document to compile Linux: from "commented opcodes" in hex0 to assembler with labels, from simple C compiler to ~c89 compiler to tinycc ~c99 compiler, from simple shell to scheme interpreter to Fiwix unix-like kernel.

I have been reviewing stage0 and gave a presentation, 'reviewing live-bootstrapping' about it at WHY2025, in which I also made some suggestions about improving stage0. I am now working on this.

At this point I believe running Common Lisp/Scheme from SectorLisp wouldn't be that far off
