Comment (by Chris Johns):

 Replying to [comment:8 kgardas]:
 > Hold on! You added patches.

 Indeed I did, please read the ticket. I clearly said this at the start of
 comment:2.

 > I described two ways how is it possible to build tool and yet you claim
 patches are needed when half of the patches try to deal with crashing of
 gcc on your Ventura.

 The patches are not attempting to address the crashing. I have no idea
 what causes those. The patches address other issues. They are:

 1. Using Python virtual env and cleaning up python support for MacOS. This
 lets a user install python from python.org.

 2. DTC did not build because of warnings treated as errors. No idea how
 you missed this is you are at the same level of updates as me.

 3. Libgcc uses `sh` and not `$(SHELL)` in it's `Makefile.in`. I have not
 looked into why I got it but something is different in the set up or
 environment to trigger it.

 4. Add homebrew as a I wanted to try building `xgcc` with `gcc` rather
 than Xcode. It did not help so I am currently considering dropping that
 patch.

 > Also you claim homebrew is optional yet you like to use it's gcc/g++ to
 build tools.

 I have not yet added Homebrew support. It is sitting in a patch. I would
 prefer not to have it part of the build. I have explained this on the
 devel list in the past.

 > A bit contradicting.

 I did not and have not and I cannot understand why you need to talk to me
 like this. Can you please not?

 > Anyway, please make sure you are on the *LATEST* Ventura and not on the
 .0 release.

 I am on the latest.

 > If you update, you will see your gcc crashes may be gone for good. I
 reported that on devel@ few times already.

 They have not gone for me. I am on an M2 Pro and I think you are on an M1.

 > Yes, makeinfo is still required by RSB otherwise I would not install it.

 The RSB checks but is it needed in any packages these days? It was added
 long ago when all projects built the docs by default using it. We do not
 build doc. If needed support should be added like `gsed`.

 > Yes, if RSB build its own xz and python and whatever, it would be good.

 The RSB is written in python so building python would be difficult without
 it already being installed. Ah yes `xz` is another. I built that by hand
 and had forgotten.
