Patching GCC to Build Portable Executables
I wrote this post: the title should be "Patching GCC to build Actually Portable Executables", because it refers to Cosmopolitan Libc and jart's Actually Portable Executable format.
With my gcc patch, you can now build software like vim, emacs, ninja, bash, git, gcc etc with Cosmopolitan Libc, via their usual autotools/cmake-style build system. The built executables should run on Linux, FreeBSD, MacOS, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and also Windows (although I haven't tested Windows yet.)
Here's a list of software I got to build with this technique: https://github.com/ahgamut/superconfigure
The superconfigure script is just a wrapper around the usual configure script used to build your software, supplying flags like --enable-static.
If you want to build gcc using Cosmopolitan Libc -- try out this repo: https://github.com/ahgamut/musl-cross-make/tree/gccbuild

Patching GCC to Build Portable Executables
Dereferencing the runtime symbol with a function sounds interesting! If you can show me an example of where it works, I'd be happy to try it out. I like the if-else-goto arrangement because it fit in perfectly with the other parts of gcc -- if you look at my patch[1], you will find that I had to change very little of gcc's existing code to add this capability.
