I can confirm that GCL master aka 2.7 builds fine under the xcode clang, but there is a problem with macports gcc which is not debuggable under either lldb nor gdb.

Thank you so much for your kind offer, but I assure you I have the means to purchase this myself and would be happy to do so if I saw the value in it philosophically speaking. I have no interest in using closed source systems nor in adding power to their corporate sponsors, though I wish them well if they make their customers happy. I believe in open source, and in cooperation and reciprocity among people working together as equals. I only use these virtual box systems in attempt to provide some extra open source value to voluntary or involuntary users of these systems, and really can only do so if it is simple and transparent technically speaking. I don't think it a wise use of time chasing a closed developer community. Are you still involved with macports? I am considering using Kirill's ssh into a github action suggestion and possibly maintaining the port if it is as easy as doing so for Debian. I am wary of depending on github given what happened to Tim.
