What about using Apple’s libc along with a GNU user land, and in particular GCC? What benefits are there in using XCode? Besides, I suspect the build systems of Darwin’s core tools may not be very convenient and friendly; you’ll have to tell us if this is the case. ;-) Apart from that, I think this is a worthy goal. BTW, note that currently Darwin’s stdenv is more “impure” than intended, as it relies on the ‘replace’ command [0] and on GNU Findutils to bootstrap. What about fixing that for a start? :-) Thanks, Ludo’.
