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
