nim

• Build csources first
• Build koch in Nim source
• Run koch to build Nim and Nim tools
• Prefer /usr/share to /opt for nimble pkgs in glaucus
• Bootstrap csources_v3 using make instead of build.sh as the latter requires GNU parallel for parallel builds
• Use koch install instead of ./install.sh as the latter may not always available
• Might require libucontext (with -lucontext added to LDFLAGS) on musl based systems (e.g. Alpine)
• nim-gdb might have bashisms (check Alpine)
• Consider toolsNoExternal for fully offline bootstraps with koch
• These work:

# koch
./koch install \
  ../../../toolchain/lib

# install.sh
sh install.sh \
  ../../../toolchain/lib

# install.sh
DESTDIR=../../../toolchain \
sh install.sh \
  /lib

• This does not work:

DESTDIR=../../../toolchain \
./koch install \
  /lib
