musl-cross-make VS cosmonim

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

In a word, yes.

In more words: You should be able to use Cosmopolitan libc: https://github.com/Yardanico/cosmonim

If something does not work for you, Yardanico is super duper helpful in all things Nim.

Nim also compiles to Javascript (nim js) and C++ for integration with legacy codebases, but that is probably more to the side of your interests.

I haven't used Nim much, but I remember a repo on Github had setup a build script for compiling Nim with Cosmopolitan Libc. https://github.com/Yardanico/cosmonim

This gcc patch makes such build scripts simpler, because you will need to change less of your code -- let me know how it works!
