 Doesn’t multilib end up compiling twice in that case?

 every other gcc compiler works now, so nobody, eg barracuda here, will
 understand how the heck to use it. Ergo, more and more and more endless
 tickets.

 As the gcc10-bootstrap provides usage instructions in the notes section
 wouldn’t this fall under user error?

 As this isn’t intended to replace a standard macports compiler it
 shouldn’t be used as such.

 If it didn’t I’d have been surprised lol

 works, in the existing infrastructure.

 Unless someone like iains does this I don’t see driverdriver getting fixed
 up.

 However as this is intended to get libcxx working on 10.6 and be used to
 quickly get to a fully functional macports compiler toolchain should this
 even matter?, I’d be more included for forgo the muniversal group and
 simply build for the current architecture.
