I'm still thinking that bootstrapping should be doable without
apk-tools. It is generally used by abuild for checking build
dependencies and updating the index. Neither should be needed
while bootstrapping the tool chain.

"make static" and you should get apk.static binary in src directory.

Abuild is just scripts so that should be ok.

No test system yet (except an oldish amd64 desktop machine). However,
a script to produce it would be of high interest for me.
