Looking at the vala source code, we can bootstrap the current version from 0.39.5.8, which appears to be between release cycles – 0.39.6 already requires it, whereas 0.39.5 bootstraps from 0.25.1. I'm not sure how to get 0.25.1 to build from source, though. The code in vala- bootstrap does not appear helpful, it in fact reads exactly like Vala- compiled Vala.

Provided that we find a version of yacc that doesn't choke on the grammar files. Also, we got an uncertain road ahead for Valas before 0.35.1, and then vala 0.39.6 did a dirty bump in which they rely on a practically unreleased version. So yes, the archeological approach could work, but I wouldn't necessarily count on it being "easy". Cheers
