   Unfortunately mixing clang and GCC on macOS creates some weird linking issues that I can't solve, but GCC must be used. The only workaround I'm seeing now is starting from a clean GNU userland. So now I'm now bootstrapping Gentoo prefix on Apple M1... :woozy_baa: Wish me luck. It's a rented server, this Gentoo install is burning the CPU and my wallet at the same time... :woozy_baa:

     Yes!!! My Gentoo Prefix stage3 bootstrap on Apple M1 running macOS 13.2 Ventura has completed successfully!! :blobcatglowsticks: :blobcat_hug_genchu: :blobcatglowsticks: (I'm probably the first one to succeed in 2023, time to file bug reports and upstream patches...)

     So... in contrary to the popular beliefs, "Install Gentoo" is not the solution to my problem, but "Install Asahi Linux" probably is. :woozy_baa: Still need to try fixing Gentoo Prefix as it's the only option on hardware that I don't own.

     Adrian Cochrane repeated this.

     Gentoo stage3 bootstrap failed half-way due to a "internal fatal error" of flex failing to launch m4. I can't understand why, it needs further debugging but it can't possibly be done in the remaining hours of the server rent. Lesson learned: don't rent an expensive server unless you're 100% sure that the development environment is working, try it on something more basic... :woozy_baa:

     GCC just passed Gentoo stage3 bootstrap...

     The Apple M1 managed to finish Gentoo stage2 bootstrap after exploding twice. :woozy_baa: GCC 12.1 was incompatible with macOS 13 mainly because of a hardcoded max version limit and a name collision. I had to apply these two patches...
