Ok, I've hacked "binutils", "gcc" and "openpkg-import" a little bit
and now you can try out the following two things to get your OpenPKG
instance working:
1. The regular method:
The latest "binutils" package now builds without as(1), ld(1) and
strip(1) now under Darwin / Mac OS X. In case those three tools are
the major problem makers under Mac OS X this now could solve the
issue. Just install "binutils" and "gcc" the regular way and see
whether a package which requires "gcc" now really builds fine and
also _WORKS_ under run-time.
2. The replacement method:
In case approach (1) fails, you can try to replace the "binutils"
and "gcc" packages with virtual packages containing symlinks to the
system commands. For this install OpenPKG package "openpkg-import"
with options "with_binutils=yes" and perhaps even "with_gcc=yes" set.
Please give feedback whether one of the above approach solves the
Binutils/GCC problems under Mac OS X.
