I actually planned to do exactly this to support 10.5 nightbuilds for
my own D
stuff.
If support should be dropped anyway, are the issues only build-related
so that
e.g. gdc would still continue work on 10.5 without further work?
Would it also be possible for you to:
1. debug what has gone wrong with the 10.5 support? I'll be happy to
fold in any resulting patches.
2. provide a remote login shell so we can figure it out?
3. use git bisect to determine which change broke it?
I will try and see if a regular retail version of 10.5 can somehow be
run in a VM, I will possibly get one tomorrow. Otherwise I'll try to get
a 10.5 test machine on monday and see what I can do.
It's quite easy to run Mac OS X on a PC, natively or virtually. Just
google around.
