I believe GCC (the real one) would not actually work on Darwin, but I can’t tell for sure. I’ve been trying to get 4.6 compiled there, but I see there’s still something wrong with libelf builds. Anyway, I wholly support this endeavor. Assuming GCC becomes available on Darwin, I think it still makes sense to have Apple’s GCC around for those doing portability testing on Hydra (Apple’s fork has a wealth of unique bugs, spiced up with subtle incompatibilities, which makes it an interesting test platform.)
