We seem to end up with quite a lot of incidental information in issues - let's try to move that to a central point.

Sure, thank you.
I will update on the status of building xtools once back to my Quad.

@iains It worked! After your last updated xtools 1.1.0 successfully built on 10.5.8 PPC:

Could you please tell me how to use them now? Say, in cases when Apple tools fail with building something.
Could these tools be used with Macports (since most of the soft I have been building there so far)?

[iains]

the build errors are fixed, but the libstdc++ dependency clashes are not;

try ./bin/ld -v

I expect it to fail with a bunch of malloc conflicts (this is because the compiler's libstdc++ is being pulled in by the build, and the /usr/lib/libstdc++.dylib is being pulled in by dependencies of libxar.dylib).

I am looking at making a general solution to this (it affects any package in the same way).

please start a new discussion for each topic - that way we will be able to find things more easily
