Well, depends on what you call 'Debian-based'. I didn't say that the
packages are from Debian (the MacPorts packages are also not from
Free/Open/NetBSD).

finkproject.org says "Fink uses Debian tools like dpkg and apt-get to
provide powerful binary package management. " So is the wording

Is following acceptable?

------------------------------------ 8< ------------------------------------
  \item \textbf{Fink} (\url{http://www.finkproject.org}) uses the package
    management tools and the package format from Debian.  Contrary to
    MacPorts, it has both binaries and can be built from source (but as far as
    I know, the binaries are less up-to-date compared the source packages).

This experience is from the time when I used Xcode 4.2 (I had to wait
for the update until MacPorts got support for it). I got llvm-gcc
segmentation faults and this was also "documented" in the bug tracker of
FSF GCC. And I think that in LLVM bugtracker was a fix already in SVN of
LLVM GCC.

I'm just running a build of a toolchain with Xcode 4.3(.2) LLVM GCC and
if that build succeeds then I will remove the restriction to FSF GCC and
mention Xcode 4.3 somewhere in the requirements.

bwalle@euler % gcc --version
i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-gcc-4.2 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2336.9.00)

I don't think that some Fink environment settings fixes GCC segmentation faults.
But we will see.

Patch is applied, thanks. But I will wait for Jürgens comments until I
upload a new PDF.
