Just as a pet-project of mine, I recently re-vamped ppc-macos support in |
| 4 |
Prefix. I've only done Leopard (10.5), don't think my enthusiasm spans |
| 5 |
to Tiger (10.4). :) |

Because clang really doesn't want to work/compile at all on PowerPC |
| 8 |
(missing implementations for atomics and more) I decided to use FSF |
| 9 |
gcc-7.3.0 instead. It compiles out of the box, and allows to use newer |
| 10 |
C++ standards (the real problem with newer software basically). |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
At some point I was able to bootstrap, it currently is probably broken, |
| 13 |
because FSF GCC can't compile binutils-apple and csu. I "fixed" the |
| 14 |
latter by requiring gcc-apple-4.2.1, and could do the same for binutils, |
| 15 |
but I was hoping to get binutils-apple-7.3.1 compiling, as that version |
| 16 |
is much more recent and has some experimental PPC support (added back). |

I don't know if anyone is (like me, crazy enough) interested in |
| 19 |
ppc-macos, but if there is, at least this is the headsup :) |
