Stanislaw Szymczyk has been working on the AROS self-compiling bounty since April. The job, according to its website, has been not a trivial task. Now that some issues with soft links and the SFS file format have been resolved, the job is almost finished.

I just installed the latest build under Qemu, and it's "getting there"... networking is still painful to setup (like it was on a real Amiga), but you know it's getting there.....
It'll be great when this work gets mainlined and that webkit port pokes up again....
Just like AmigaDOS was, it's on the brink of usability.

AROS has always been one of my favorite alternate OSes and the fact that it's now getting to a point where both the system itself and the native devtools work well enough to self-compile can only mean good things. Now if only someone would write some more nice apps for AROS (or at least pick up the last open source version of Lunapaint, which the author has cruelly decided to not only close source, but make commercial 
)
