--- Comment #7 from Jack Howarth <howarth.at.gcc at gmail dot com> --- (In reply to Iain Sandoe from comment #6) > We are not dependent on the Xcode supplied tools for some time now, since > upstream dsymutil is functional. So, if that were to happen - we would > simply (as the Linux folks do) build a complete toolchain rather than just > the compiler (i have a 'cctools' look-alike driver for the LLVM backend - > and an actual cctools assembler with the known bugs fixed). > While using the assembler from llvm should be straight forward enough, assuming Apple didn't push its obsoleting of i386 changes upstream, the linker would be a tricker issue since the llvm lld code hasn't been kept up on the Darwin side for quite some time. > To assist this, it would be helpful if fink, macports etc. could file radars > noting that the open source releases are very out of date for these > components (currently 8.2.1 compared with the released Xcode of 10.x) I pinged Jeremy to see if he can nudge that along.
