Josh, We have made significant progress in keeping the testsuite results in decent shape for darwin while adapting to changes in the OS... http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.6/changes.html http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2011-07/msg00877.html Most of those failures are due to changes from Xcode 4.1. For Xcode 3.2.6/4.0.2, the results are even better... http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2011-06/msg02515.html (really Xcode 3.0.2) http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2011-06/msg02555.html In fact, except for a change discovered immediately before gcc 4.6's release that broke our model of handling LTO sections in Mach-O files, we would have functional lto support in Xcode 4.x. In my fink gcc46 package, I have implemented the current work-in-progress patch for containerization of the LTO sections so that feature is restored.
