Thanks, it is great to know this can be done. What I am not sure about is how to build with Xocde's clang on a "latest" or "current" system or with gcc on older systems we know have problems. Do we need to add to darwin.py a way to specify versions of MacOS and clang which are known to be broken and to automatically switch to gcc if present or raise an error if gcc is not found? My policy for MacOS is building current RSB tools on current MacOS + Xcode versions. I do not have the time or means to support testing two separate packaging systems and their updates. I have found in the past a library installed for some other package may break a build of our tools. Sometimes the presence of a library can trigger a different configure path and this exposes things not normally seen. It would be good to support older MacOS versions if we have active users. Can we say for a clang < 10 we attempt to use gcc? I will need some help with selecting the versions we need.
