Re: Having build issues on Mac OS X

[David Chisnall]

It seems to be trying to build the modern runtime compatibility layer for the 
old GCC runtime on top of the NeXT / Apple runtime.  I don't know if anyone has 
tried to build -base on top of the Apple runtime for a while, so that 
configuration may not work again.
