Hi, Right now after patches by the Apple folks causes you to need a newer dwarfutils which don't exist outside of Apple so the community of Free Source and GCC is not helped by making Darwin a primary platform. Maybe we should list a specific version of darwin which changes the confusion of which darwin (Mac OS X) version is supposed to be able to compile right out of the box. Right now on the PowerPC side, Darwin before 8 (so Panther and before) are broken bootstrapping the mainline and is also broken on the 4.2 branch.
We should request that the Apple folks at least support the latest release version of their OS and the previous version or we should remove Darwin from being a primary/secondary platform until they are able to. Thanks, Andrew Pinski
