That's understandable, since you don't see the up-side (only the problems).
AFAIK, they intend that it will support the output of GCC - but that will only
apply to the leading edge - and, as Dominique said, leaves Darwin9 (and maybe
even 10, given the timescales) high and dry.
As I see it we have these options (other than the trivial 'give up'):
1. live with the native tool-chain and provide hooks/work-arounds to let us
fix things up...
2. odcctools -- unfortunately, trunk (159) of odcctools also has this problem,
I just tried to bootstrap ppc with it. There are up-to-date releases of the
Apple tools - but it depends on someone having time to integrate them. Also,
more of a tricky business for the end User.
3. finish porting mach-o to binutils (I've made some progress with BFD and GAS
- but not even started to look at LD) ... waiting for the paperwork to come
through to extend my assignments to binutils....
