Thanks! I went to http://developer.apple.com/darwin/projects/compiler/
and it looks like the Apple GCC source code is available over CVS. Is
this the same as the normal GNU GCC? Because, CVS is included with the
Developer Tools from Apple, which I don't want to download. Is it
possible to compile the official GNU GCC release with cctools, or should
I grab the Apple version source from CVS on my linux box, and transfer
it over to the Mac?
