As Jurgen Weiss has pointed out, bootsys is technically
superfluous. The boot translator is include in interp as part
of SPAD. And Axiom can be bootstrapped directly from the
version of boot in interp. (This is the method that he used
for the CMUCL version of Axiom.)

So I guess which one is "real" depends on your point of view.
