10.4: Build a GCC 3.3 C compiler for Intel Mac OS X
Authored by: ejalbert on Apr 29, '06 01:04:13PM

gcc 3.3 is not compatible with the ABI of Mac OS X on Intel. You can build it from the FSF sources if you'd like, but the resulting compiler will not generate working code in a variety of cases. Debugging those kinds of problems would be sufficiently annoying that you really, really, really want to use gcc 4.0 instead.

Yes but it is relatively critical to bootstrapping cross compilers.

Thanks for this article.
