With those two issues patched, it then bootstrapped just fine on Mac OS X 10.4.9 (tested on PowerPC and on Intel)
[...]
Now onwards to test some actual packages, but it looks good. Will let you know if I find anything else, or just ask...
Tested building some packages now, and that's where the troubles begin. :-) There needs to be some major changes: 1) by default it tries to use GNU binutils. These don't work on Mac OS X, so it fails already there (in "ar") This needs to be changed into using Apple's cctools, probably by using the MOF "odcctools-622.3" version. 2) by default it tries to use GNU/FSF gcc. This is not 100% binary compatible with Apple's gcc as far as I know and might lead to some subtle libgcc/libstdc++ problems later on ? So will switch, to "gcc-5363". Will try it again, with the Apple compilers/linkers... If possible, I will try to build them as OpenPKG RPMS. But using the binutils and gcc packages from OpenPKG will NOT work on this platform (Mac OS X 10.4/Darwin 8) --anders PS.
