David, On the positive side, gcc trunk is now fixed so that the regress server is building powerpc-apple-darwin9 again. The testsuite results have decayed a bit over time but that is really more a reflection of the lack of interest in powerpc across all target operating systems than an issues particular to darwin. We are close to resolving one of the long standing issues in FSF gcc on darwin (which is the fact that versioned libgcc's on darwin block the ability to access the newer symbols in FSF libgcc). This is resolved with a new libgcc-ext library... http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=18657 which provides the TLS support needed for the libgomp testsuite to pass completely on darwin... http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2009-09/msg02532.html http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2009-09/msg02533.html So the situation isn't as bleak as it seems.
