The problem is not bootstrapping: the problem is
the binary holds black-box source.
The source with which the binary was compiled are
effectively requiring themselves to function.
The language implementation with self-hosting is
creating a source loop which becomes a circular
dependency on the compiler(and in lisp Genera case
non-portable compiler).

for the same problem in C source loop.
