Yes. Stale files required for building are an even bigger problem than
non-source artifacts in the source code required for building...

As the psyntax-pp.scm.gen target was fixed in 3.0.7, I updated my
bootstrap (the changes where fairly minor):

https://github.com/schierlm/guile-psyntax-bootstrapping/commit/e2f2b1d5271ff8fddb22706863bb0d719e844dd5

I also pushed two tags (guile-3.0.2 and guile 3.0.7) to the repo so that
users can have stable links for bootstrapping a particular Guile version
without having to fetch a particular commit id.
