I was hoping that a Darwin maintainer would be able to review it.
Andrew or Caroline, how about asking Dale to take a quick look? If
Apple
is happy with it, it's okay with me.
(I am not a Darwin maintainer, but OK. Perhaps I should be at this
point?)
I do not think this is the right general approach to the problem, as I
said, but
in the interests of getting bootstrap going I'll go along with it.
These routines are the same ones that have been used in Apple's gcc for
years,
so they're technically OK. I've verified that they were written at
Apple and we
are willing to contribute them, so there's no legal problem.
