Comment (by mojca):

 I don't know if this is actually feasible, but I boldly set the same
 milestone as for other legacy mac support issues (we can always push it
 "back to the more distant future").

 This seems pretty important to me, even more for 10.5 in fact (I don't
 know why your ticket only mentions 10.6 unless the idea is to only use gcc
 there, also for i386), but I don't know what the best way to implement it
 would be. I asked the exact same question a few years back and remember
 the answer being "this bootstrapping problem with be solved automatically
 once we start providing binaries".

 Ryan, do you have any suggestions about the best way to do this?

 (What I did for my own "bootstrapping-like purposes" was to simply
 manually fetch libcxx binaries from our packages and manually extracted
 the contents to `/usr/lib`.)
