Hey Jon, Thank you for your response !
I was actually going to explore docker way, and that's a fine solution. But unless we host binaries for 32 and 64 osx, users won't be able to use newst pico from the mac's "unofficial" package manager, Homebrew, and that's quite how I think most mac users would go first. So is it possible to have the official website host precompiled binaries for latest releases ? or at least have one 32 bit release that I could use to bootstrap compilation for the 64 flavour?
