Darwin as primary platform

[Geoffrey Keating]

Hi Mark,

On Darwin, the most common form of development is to compile the same  
sources to target both powerpc-darwin and i386-darwin  
simultaneously.  It therefore seems unnatural to make a distinction  
between the two.  This also makes the Darwin targets, by far, the  
most popular hosted targets which are routinely used by cross- 
compilation.

I think that powerpc-darwin has met the criteria for being a primary  
platform for the last several major releases, and this should  
continue through the 4.3 release.  I expect that for the 4.3 release  
i386-darwin will also achieve this level of quality.

I discussed this with my management and we agreed that we would  
recommend that powerpc-darwin together with i386-darwin be a primary  
platform for the 4.3 release.
