The reason I'm asking is that on Linux I could _never_ compile on a newer system than the target system unless going completely static with the runtime, so I'm a bit prejudiced against it. Is it really safe on MacOS?

Why ask? Why not try and see what happens?

quoting myself: [...] My application starts on 10.5 when using the 10.5 SDK, but is there something I should take special care of? Is using -shared-libgcc discouraged? I did try, and it works. But you are probably aware that one can not proof a theory by example:( I guess our customers would not appreciate it when we made quarterly releases that crashes on some percentage of their Macs, even if a single trial worked for me:-) But its nevertheless a matter of curiosity, meaning: On Linux, its possible to compile on a newer system than the target, as long as the linking is done completely static. The problem there is, that linking against the runtime statically is discouraged, everything else could work. Now I'm wondering what about libgcc, is it discouraged too? And if so, can I make gcc-4.2 link against libgcc-4.0? If not, why not? If you (or anyone) could clarify, I would appreciate any insight! Cheers, Mario -- Dipl. Inf.
