(crossposting since this is now all over the place)
They may be right. Here’s the deal:
1) Historically, people had problems with some builds when the Xcode app and
the CLI were incompatible.
2) We therefore had fink check the versions and display a warning which paused
the build for 10 seconds to let people know to sync their versions before
filing a bug report with us.
3) Apple decided that Xcode 8 and CLI tools 7.3.1 is an OK combination for
10.11.
4) We modified fink not to pause the build and to change the wording of the
message slightly to indicate that unmatched Xcode and command-line tools is a
_potential_ problem, since it has been, in general.
5) However, we didn’t add anything to suppress this message for the
aforementioned special case, because handling special cases adds complexity to
the fink code, and because it’s not usually required to scroll back through the
build logs unless the build fails.
People who don’t want to see the warning are free to modify
/sw/lib/perl5/Fink/Engine.pm for themselves.
