Comment (by AgilentGCMS):

 I'm surprised by the assertion that gcc is dead on macOS, since gcc is
 usually the stablest compiler suite on most Unix-y platforms. Also, why
 bother having so many gcc ports if they're unusable? Nonetheless, there's
 not much I can do, since fixing gcc on macOS is way beyond my capability.
 I wish clang was a bit more full featured, like supporting openmp, if
 Apple's desire was indeed to have that as the only functioning compiler on
 macOS. I guess I'll just live with the fact that despite the Unix-y
 veneer, macOS was not built for those who want the full flexibility of a
 unix OS (sorry, nothing personal, I'm just expressing my frustration of
 trying to adjust to a mac after years of linux/unix development).
