------- Comment #8 from mrs at apple dot com 2009-09-22 21:17 ------- I meant the idea that libSystem has new symbols in it is relevant only to darwin10. The system libgcc_s is present on older OSes, so those aspects are still relevant. Yeah, to solve that problem one would either have to have a new name, or possibly an explicit path. I've not tried the later, but it might offer a way to construct the library with fewer mods.
