What you describe above sounds like the "normal" way compilers are bootstrapped. The question is, how did they obtain the original Darwin/OSX M3 compiler then? Via a cross compiler? That's about the only possibility I see, except maybe that they have a minimal non-M3 written compiler that can bootstrap M3, but if that was the case, then why don't they distribute that by default... seems unlikely.Yes, you have to cross compile to do an initial port. That was one of the big issues in porting the thing (i looked at it a couple months ago)
drm's suggestion seems best, the bootstrap can just be a secondary source file that is downloaded and used as part of the build. Only one package needed.
