Hi, |
| 2 |
|

I'd just quickly like to point anyone interested to |
| 4 |
https://github.com/michaelweiser/ld64 where I've done some work to |
| 5 |
forward-port the removed PPC support in ld64 to the latest versions. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I imagine it might provide a way to retain support for older OS Xes on |
| 8 |
PPC without having to keep ancient versions of ld64 packages around. |
| 9 |
Also, because the newer versions support all the switches more current |
| 10 |
software (like compilers) expect them to have, it might help avoid |
| 11 |
having to patch other software for the old linker. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I was trying to get llvm/clang-3.4.2 working on OS X 10.5 PPC in order |
| 14 |
to then move on to 3.6.0 and libc++ but got stuck on a mis-linking issue |
| 15 |
with ld64-127.2. The current version doesn't fix that but doesn't seem |
| 16 |
to work any worse either. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
I have updated ebuilds for binutils-apple-{4.2,5.1,6.1} floating around |
| 19 |
in case anyone's interested in giving them a go themselves. My iBook is |
| 20 |
on loan right now so I can't continue to work on it. |

Hope it's of use to someone, |
