Thank you for this comment.

PLEASE, PLEASE take a moment to describe what you are doing more
clearly. I am very very interested.

Where is '$bootStrapMode flag' defined?

What do you mean by "minimal interp.daase"? How do you construct
this minimal database?

Could you send an example script that "builds everthing in a
single invocation of the compiler"?

I think you knowledge of how this works could be very valuable
for improving Axiom.
