It looks like > only darwin8 needs this, and even configuring for i686-apple-darwin8 > doesn't trigger. hm. doing a cross to darwin-8 should produce the requirement for stubs and branch islands (the latter, I think are ppc only). ---- You should also be able to trigger the branch island path by using -mmacosx-version-min=10.4 on Darwin 9 or 10 (when building for PPC). This should also also trigger generation of stubs for function calls on m32 x86 and ppc. (will try and look later - but tied up with other hassles right now)
