Comment (by barracuda156):
Replying to [comment:5 Dave-Allured]:
> You are using gcc-4.2, but `__builtin_unreachable` is only available in
gcc-4.5 and newer. What compiler alternatives are available on Leopard?
There is no alternative on < 10.7 out-of-the-box besides Xcode gcc and
pre-historic clang (which is broken on ppc). Of course, modern gcc / clang
are buildable, but since `tcl` is bundled in MacPorts, requiring to
bootstrap the whole new compiler just to install MacPorts (and then
needing to build that compiler again, but now inside MacPorts) will be
wild :)
