<html><body><p>This has probably been discussed in the past, but wanted to revisit the idea of using native Swift tools to build Foundation. I brought this up in the Slack group, and it seemed to be warmly received- although probably still not simple because of some cyclical dependency issues in the build process.<br><br>But, I think that there would be a lot of value in being able to build Foundation (and CoreFoundation) only using SwiftPM, in other words, simply with `swift build`. <br><br>Now that SwiftPM is improving its ability to pass in compilation flags more easily and C module compilation. I think that the project could be restructured to make this work. What would be the obstacles for getting this working?<br><br>
