I am not really maintaining a tree. Usually I download the weekly snapshot (due tomorrow) and do the buils through a modified Fink script. If I have a problem, I look if I can solve it by small changes in the script. If the problem comes from the snapshot itself, I cry for help and without answer I do what I did, i.e. try some patches, but I do my best to avoid that. Unless there is an emergency I do not foresee, I'll try with the 20061118 snapshot in which the patch should be included (I have seen it in CVS). > You can run as -v to see what version of cctools you have. Apple Computer, Inc. version cctools-590.36~obj, GNU assembler version 1.38 Note that I have also [karma] f90/bug% /sw/lib/odcctools-10.4/bin/ld -v Apple Computer, Inc. version odcctools-622.3od15 (copied from my 10.4 laptop) though I never used it under 10.3. The Fink script use several --with-xx to look at the tools (ld, as, nm, libtool, ...) in a separate directory. I have added a few more without solving the problem. It seems that the with-* mechanism is not fully implemented since there is a hardcoded /usr/bin/libtool in gcc/config/darwin.h and a default (from path) nm in libstdc++-v3/scripts/make_exports.pl. I don't know if there are other instances for other commands (I grepped 'strip' in the hierarchy, but had too many outputs to really use them). > Let me know if that works for you.

I am under 10.3.9 and I think the requirement to have it + cctools-590.36 is reasonable. > > 10.3 is quite old now, and there will be very few users by the time > > that 4.3 is released. > > I tested it out on mainline and it works just fine (now). :-) I'ld prefer you wait until the 10.5 release, before declaring GCC 4.3 won't work on OSX 10.3.
