This worked! I used `pdftex -ini <name>.ins` and the package texlive-latex-
l3kernel is generated correctly. Thanks!

Now I’m seeing some errors during the build of texlive-latex-base itself, 
about “! Undefined control sequence \NewDocumentCommand” when remaking the 
pdflatex format. I’m probably missing some file(s) with control sequence 
definitions. I’ll check out l3build and the CI logs to see if I can find some 
hints.
