Hi OS/X'ers,

I see in rpython/translator/platform/darwin.py that we use only
"clang" as the compiler on OS/X.  There was some discussion in #pypy,
as well as a proposal from Andrew Dalke to upgrade the gcc on the OS/X
buildbot, which go along the lines of "clang is not necessarily always
better than gcc on OS/X".  So I would like that the RPython toolchain
supports both choices.

Please don't discuss clang-vs-gcc endlessly here, I'm sure there are
people who think that clang is better than gcc and others that have
the opposite view and both camps have strong opinions -- that's not
the point and I don't honestly care.  This e-mail is *only* about
supporting both choices.

Could someone on OS/X check that we can use gcc to translate pypy's?
This can be checked by trying out a smaller example, like
rpython/translator/goal/targetnopstandalone.py .  What fixes do you
need in darwin.py?  Or simply pass some environment variable? Thanks!


A bientôt,

Armin.
