  3. gperftools

    Main gperftools repository

    For profiling you are right clang has no -pg that works. But there are options, since clang supports PGO the fprofile flags could be what you need. they will generated a profraw file for you. There is also gperf tools which work for more than just linux. https://github.com/gperftools/gperftools

  4. osxcross

    Mac OS X cross toolchain for Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Android (Termux)

    Have you considered using a dockerized osxcross cross compiler toolchain in your CI? Granted it is a bit clunky to setup...
