Sure .. and if it appears I am grumpy, then apologies - that's not the intent. The bottom line is that we have to have some "supported" configuration set (and try to make that as wide as possible). I completely accept that end-users will do whatever they choose - but I think we all (at least those of us responsible for producing and distributing the toolchains) need to have position that "the following set of things, which are readily available on your platform work, correctly together - if you move outside of that you might be on your own". I have some ideas about how we can improve our lives re. the SDKs - but they need some moderate lifting coding-wise. Likewise we could isolate ourselves from dependency on Xcode for the assembler and linker - but also at the cost of extra maintenance (which, so far, we have chosen not to take on).
