Werner, could you post a list of the steps it takes to get GUB running? 
Then documentation could  be updated.

Unless the GUIX-based build system proposed by Jan Nieuwenhuizen 
materializes within a year, GUB will need some work to add 64-bit builds 
for macOS. (No 32-bit apps for next macOS version, says Apple.) Adding 
64-bit minGW for Windows to help resolve the reported memory-related 
crashes on large projects is another consideration.

All this would need more people working on GUB. Reliable documentation 
for beginning that work would encourage people to help with it.

Perhaps GUB should be replaced as the build system. But until there's 
another way to generate all the required builds without making 
maintainers' lives more difficult, GUB is what we have to work with.
