FYI, the problem with gcj on darwin9 is that FSF gcc now emits epilogue notes in the _eh_frames which causes the system unwinder on darwin9 to puke. Fortunately, when the compact unwinder was added in darwin10, the old system unwinder was replaced with a compatibility unwinder which tolerates the epilogue notes in _eh_frames. A patch for darwin9 was proposed awhile back but never progressed into gcc trunk... http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41991#c49 > > - Josh > _______________________________________________ > macports-dev mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
