I did not say 'no'. I expressed my opinion that:
 - the kernel-related patch seemed as a symptom of a more obscur issue.
   FTR, it was about O= breaking, which it should not.
 - I asked for clarifications about the glibc patch
 - the sed patch I refused because there is already provision for specifying
   an alternate sed if needed
 - for the gcc-build script, I asked for more info.

There was no answer, so I dropped all 4... :-(

But now the issue pops up again, maybe we can at last kill it! ;-)
You are the guys that can test on MacOS, so I'll listen to your suggestions.
Maybe an answer to tmy questions about the gcc static libstdc++ issue would
be a start:

What does the MacOS-X' ld says to used static/shared libraries? GNU ld
at least supports the equivalents:
- for static: -Bstatic   -dn  -non_shared   -static
- for shared: -Bdynamic  -dy  -call_shared
If you can find a common option for both, then the better.
