Problem here is that you need a recent version of binutils-apple, which |
17 |
only compiles using clang. So the best first shot here would most |
18 |
probably be to get the latest binutils compilable with gcc-apple, or |
19 |
invest in getting a clang that can be compiled with less recent |
20 |
binutils. |
