bootstrap: Reduced Binary Seed bootstrap for x86_64 too.
* gnu/packages/bootstrap.scm (%bootstrap-inputs): Replace %bootstrap-libc, %bootstrap-gcc, and %bootstrap-binutils with Mes seeds for x86_64 too. * gnu/packages/commencement.scm (tcc-boot0, tcc-boot, gcc-mesboot1, gcc-mesboot1-wrapper, m4-mesboot, %bootstrap-inputs+toolchain, libstdc++-boot0, gcc-boot0, bison-boot0): For x86_64-linux, use i686-linux glibc-dynamic-linker and Mes bootstrap settings. (gcc-boot0-intermediate-wrapped): New variable, extract from static-bash-for-glibc. (static-bash-for-glibc): Use it. (gcc-final): Copy gmp&co phase from gcc-boot0, inherit other arguments from gcc; avoid i686-linux impersonation from gcc-boot0. * doc/guix.texi (Bootstrapping, Reduced Binary Seed Bootstrap): Note x86_64-linux also as Reduced Binary Seed bootstrap.
