[gentoo-alt] [prefix] What's needed for Leopard support?

[Aaron Wilson]

I've read the warning on the "Bootstram Process" page:
> Bootstrapping on OS X 10.5 Leopard unfortunately is NOT working at

I've noticed that the Darwin 9.0 sources are up ( http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.5/ 
  , what most interests me is the new gcc_42-5331 package) and I was  
wondering what is needed to get Leopard bootstrapped and how I can help.

I've also read the PS from Elias Pipping's email titled "Re: [gentoo- 
alt] Prefix: Python fails to bootstrap on OS X 10.5	Leopard" :

What is the difference between odcctools and Apple's cctools? Will the  
new cctools-667.3 resolve this?

What does "doesn't work" mean? Is there a place where these topics are  
discussed in further detail?

Thanks,
Aaron
