 Replying to [comment:11 braumann@…]:
 > Did you test the abovementioned experimental steps also on Tiger?

 No. On Tiger, where some GNU Emacs builds took many hours' time, I created
 the patch – and port had no problem to apply it with those {{{..}} in the
 path! But the usual /usr/bin/make (3.80) failed at start, upon invocation,
 with that {{{virtual memory exhausted}}} report. Look at this:
 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20286653/make-error-virtual-memory-
 exhausted-stop! And http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10903367/virtual-
 memory-exhausted-error. Gmake (4.1) managed to start, and failed later.
 Anyway, I can retry this in a few days (right now my PowerBook G4 is
 running Leopard). And also can try your steps.

 D'accord! Except – I think clang-3.4 did not build for me … In any case it
 does not build on Tiger. Apple's GCC 4.2 should be used as compiler. It is
 prepared to build any software On Tiger and Leopard.
