I'm trying to ask a specific question, what does the patch allow that can't be done otherwise? Kinda a trivial question, and I don't see any answer. I'm not looking for, it allows it to work, or it makes the expert case work. I'm look for the specific question, and the specific information you want, and why ld -v doesn't get it. For example, there is a host you are thinking of, there is a build system you are think of, there is a target you are thinking of. There is a set of software you have, likely a particular Xcode release. There are binaries that you might have built up for it, there might be headers you grab from some place, libraries or SDKs from another place. This might be done for quick debugging a darwin problem on a linux host, but without the full ability to generate a tool chain, it might be to support a full tool chain. I want it to work, without specifying the it, doesn't let me see what problem you are solving. I read through the PR listed, and it seems to just list a typical x86_64-apple-darwin12.6.0 native port. That really isn't rocket science is it? I mean, we see the wanting from the build tools directly. So, the change isn't to support that, is it?
