For managarm to become fully self-hosting, the following ports are missing (incomplete list)
autoconf, blocked on a working perl port
automake, blocked on a working perl port
libtool
m4
patch, ported, seems to work
git, blocked on networking and /dev/null support
mercurial, blocked on networking and more python support
cmake
wget, ported, seems to work decently, blocked on further tcp changes for now
curl, ported, but needs more work
grub, to produce an image
subversion. as preliminary support for subversion is pending in xbstrap, and pcre will move to an subversion repo, this tool is needed to allow xbstrap to build pcre
bison, many build systems invoke bison at some point
flex, as said with bison, flex is used in some build systems
texinfo, if we want to be able to produce documentation, texinfo is a must. This is blocked on a working perl port
rsync, to copy the contents of the sysroot to the image, rsync is used
cpio, the initrd that managarm uses is compressed with cpio
Furthermore, the following ports need attention before self-hosting can be achieved (incomplete list)
ncurses, this really needs to produce shared libraries
bzip2, crashes due to missing utime() (this has been fixed in current mlibc master, just awaiting a small build fix)
xz-utils, crashes due to missing printf() specifier
gettext, if we ever want to handle localized messages in applications, gettext at build time is a must, furthermore, support for this in mlibc needs to be added. A basic port is available, but untested and unused at this time
For proper self-hosting, we also need some extra support in managarm itself (incomplete list)
Support for loopback devices, the current image generation process either uses libguestfs or loopback devices, the latter should be easier to implement then libguestfs
