--- Comment #8 from Iain Sandoe <iains at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-07-02 13:10:10 UTC ---

I tested the patch on darwin 8 on a G5 and with crosses from darwin 9 - >
darwin 8.

results are shown in:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2011-07/msg00134.html

FWIW: unless there's a real need to generate m64 to target a different box, I
don't think there's a whole lot of point in building the multi-libs in general
on darwin 8 on a G4.   It makes a huge difference to build & test as well.

Even on a G5, there are missing m64 libraries that prevent java from working,
and also there's no NeXT m64 ObjC support.

Having said that, m64 c, c++, fortran and GNU ObjC work fine on darwin 8.
