--- Comment #17 from Iain Sandoe <iains at gcc dot gnu.org> 2010-12-05 20:26:53 UTC --- dsymutil will generate the same issues for languages already enabled (there are some cases in the c/c++ test-suite on i686-Darwin9). my 0.02 euros: I would prefer to have it enabled for Darwin9 - since that is the last usable case for ppc (if the test-suite prune approach works, then I much prefer that over a hack script). If dsymutil is buggy on Darwin9, there is nothing we can currently do - since I don't imagine that there will be another update for XCode on Darwin9. Not enabling it is simply hiding a problem - not solving it. (maybe one day we'll have time to roll our own and then the dependency will be resolved).
