Sorry, was OOO and without sensible connection. As you saw I was part way through ripping out stabs for Darwin (I disabled it on the last cycle, but with an easy route to re-enabling should there be any fallout) - no one has complained - so the patch ought to be fine. > OK. I'm not too worried about supporting 32bit darwin 8 and earlier. That's > got to be at least a decade out of service at this point The Darwin maintainers have had a policy of not breaking older versions on purpose (and I have gone along with that for now) - but if you want to build on anything older than Darwin8 expect to have to build a whole bunch of supporting tools first to support the bootstrap… For the record, Darwin8 works fine for GCC11 - and I’d not expect a problem with GCC12 (so far) - there will come a point that we want to default to using embedded rpaths, which it doesn’t support so we shall see what options there are then.
