It would be better if gash-utils worked with mes though. Now they all run in 
guile.
In live-bootstrap project (bootstrapping from hex0 with just kaem driver)
we had to skip gash and all gash-utils. Fortunately we now mostly got relevant 
GNU utils.

By the way we managed to build reasonably new sed 4.0.7 instead of sed 1.18 
which is used in guix bootstrap
