Nice explanation, thanks.
"Trusting Trust" makes my head hurt.
Has anyone considered bootstrapping on completely different stacks and then diffing the results?
Maybe even using cross compilers.
I can imagine hostile actors compromising various Intel, AMD, ARM chips. But I can't imagine those compromised targets all behaving the same way. Or going back in time to port their compromises to obsolete architectures.
