Comment (by mouse07410):

 > What I am proposing is for cctools to be made a bit more liberal in
 allowing more macports clang compilers to be use *if* they happen to be
 installed, and to make the list of versions something indepedent to the
 llvm version that cctools happens to be built using.

 That makes perfect sense. Thanks for explaining.

 > It would also be possible to check the Xcode version, and if new enough
 have gcc skip adding any macports clang dep, and thus just using the
 system (Xcode) /usr/bin/clang. This could of course be done now, if you
 want

 That would be perfect. If you could add this, it would be outstanding.

 THANK YOU!
