Hello!
I spent the weekend building a copy of the Dolphin emulator that is compatible
with OS X 10.9! It mostly works, thanks in no small part to MacPorts's
excellent legacy-support and clang-11 ports.

However, I had to remove a couple uses of shared_mutex from Dolphin's code,
which I think may be leading to some odd freezes when configuring controllers.
It occurred to me that I might be able to revert those changes (and hopefully
fix the freezes) by building Dolphin against macports-libcxx.
Dolphin uses cmake, so I added the following to cmakelists.txt:
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -nostdinc++")
include_directories(/opt/local/include/libcxx/v1)
link_directories(/opt/local/lib/libcxx)
But Dolphin can't seem to compile this way. I don't know a ton about how C and
CMake work—am I doing this right?
(I'm also perfectly content to live with what I have—I'm delighted that I got
Dolphin to work at all—but I wouldn't feel right unless I exhausted all
possible avenues.)
Thank you!
