   @quad @mikoto @navi Reminds me of how I ended up reimplementing grub-install as a shell script on my desktop, for some reason it screwed detecting the disks properly so wrong uuid and wrong list of modules, couldn't load the config at all anymore.
   
   Config which I pretty much always write by hand (now it's a basic shell script to loop over kernel versions) because well grub-mkconfig sometimes would also spectacularly fail…

     @mikoto @quad @navi Sadly systemd buildsystem (and most of it's code too) hard depends on glibc and coreutils, big no for me.
     
     I'd rather use syslinux or Linux UEFI stub.
     But well only systems I use UEFI on are arm and riscv, had too much broken proprietary UEFI implementations on x86_64.

     @lanodan @quad @navi I personally would go for systemd-boot (which I think gentoo lets you install without the rest of systemd) since it's just way simpler on moderns UEFI systems

     @navi @quad @mikoto For musl it's upstreamed? Fixing coreutils I've sent a patch once and I don't think I would again.
     
     And personally I do not want to have core system components forever stuck to third-party patches, I'd rather use something else or even make an alternative.

     @lanodan @quad @mikoto systemd is getting patches to work on musl, i dunno about coreutils tho
     
     but also, systemd-boot can barely be called a systemd thing, it's just gummiboot copy-pasted into the tree and `s/gummi/systemd-/g`, so i wouldn't be surprised if it worked without needing either
