One thing I'll add to Terry's good post... If you happen to mean Darwin8 x86
running on generic PC hardware (as opposed to an Intel Mac), then you can
use a kernel downloaded from the PPC directory under opensource and build
it with gcc3.3. I have only done this on a generic PC running Darwin8 x86,
so I don't know if a cross-build from a PPC Mac works.
Also, I have some crude notes in
ftp://ftp.cis.uoguelph.ca/pub/nfsv4/darwin-port/xnu-client.tar.gz
(anonymous ftpable) that might help w.r.t. setting up the build tools on
Macs running Tiger. (Darwin8 x86 has the gcc3 build tools in place when
installed on a generic PC.)
Have a good 2007, rick
