Still the time and space required to build GCC is much larger than
that required for building grub. The OS X platform is somewhat exotic
because it uses different object format and non-gnu linker so it is
more likely there will be issues with building GCC. Since the time I
tried GCC is no longer self-containded but relies on additional
libraries that have to be installed separately so the user has to
compile several interdependent packages from source which certainly
requires more planning than just building a single package.
Is there no simple mechanism for installing software on MacOS ?
E.g. on
Debian one would just use apt-get. I heard about the Fink project,
although I haven't used it myself.
