Comment:
I have been trying to enable building a compiler on 10.5 that can produce
binaries for 10.4 and 10.5. (This is what the deployment target option of
./configure is for.) It is working to some degree, but I never managed to
get it to fully boostrap (ie, so that I can build a compiler on 10.5 that
also runs on 10.4). It requires a quite a bit of fiddling with linker
options and similar and I found it hard to debug when it doesn't work
(maybe due to my limited Mac dev experience.
In any case, this is hard to do and really requires somebody with detailed
knowledge of the mac os linker. (My changes were in the old build system,
not sure how mangled they got in the new one.)
