I agree, but this problem should to a certain extend be solved by using
portage provided versions of programs yet supplied by the OS. I
personally think that for now we can get away with primarily looking at
OSX Tiger.
I'm curious, is this really a binary compatibility issue, or just a
portability problem in libsigsegv?
I hadn't read it like that. I understood it more like a general point
being made. libsigsegv seems to be known with Darwin7, not with 8. The
model in Darwin8 is different, and supports POSIX sigsegv stuff where
Darwin7 needs some Darwin7 specific code, apparently like Darwin5 did.
To me, this package just works on both Panther and Tiger, but it could
have been that it wouldn't on one of them.
