>Just spent the last week or so porting TheRock to stagex in an effort to get ROCm built with a native musl/mimalloc toolchain and get it deterministic for high security/privacy workloads that cannot trust binaries only built with a single compiler.

...I have a feeling you might not be at liberty to answer, but... Wat? The hell kind of "I must apparently resist Reflections on Trusting Trust" kind of workloads are you working on?

And what do you mean "binaries only built using a single compiler"? Like, how would that even work? Compile the .o's with compiler specific suffixes then do a tortured linker invo to mix different .o's into a combined library/ELF? Are we talking like mixing two different C compilers? Same compiler, two different bootstraps? Regular/cross-mix?

I'm sorry if I'm pushing for too much detail, but as someone whose actually bootstrapped compilers/user spaces from source, your usecase intrigues me just by the phrasing.
