--- Comment #8 from Iain Sandoe <iains at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-07-02 13:10:10 UTC --- I tested the patch on darwin 8 on a G5 and with crosses from darwin 9 - > darwin 8. results are shown in: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2011-07/msg00134.html FWIW: unless there's a real need to generate m64 to target a different box, I don't think there's a whole lot of point in building the multi-libs in general on darwin 8 on a G4. It makes a huge difference to build & test as well. Even on a G5, there are missing m64 libraries that prevent java from working, and also there's no NeXT m64 ObjC support. Having said that, m64 c, c++, fortran and GNU ObjC work fine on darwin 8.
