Right now after patches by the Apple folks causes you to need a
newer
dwarfutils which don't exist outside of Apple so the community of Free
Source and GCC is not helped by making Darwin a primary platform.
Maybe we should list a specific version of darwin which changes the
confusion of which darwin (Mac OS X) version is supposed to be able to
compile right out of the box. Right now on the PowerPC side, Darwin
before 8 (so Panther and before) are broken bootstrapping the mainline
and is also broken on the 4.2 branch.
We're in stage1, breakages happen - see the current fun with gmp/mpfr as
well as c99 inlining. File a bug or bring a problem up for discussion.
As far as 4.2 this is the first I've heard of it. What's the problem?
