For Mac OS X 10.6.8, Snow Leopard, *and* use of MacPorts, which recommends to use as cxx_stdlib libc++, the use of GCC 6 seems to be necessary. At least I could not build GNU Emacs 26.0.90 with another GCC version (I did not try old GCC 4.2, but 4.8 and 5.5 failed).

Mac OS X's Clang 3.0 can build GNU Emacs 26.0.90.


Anyway, in a few weeks, around Christmas, I'll upgrade to El Capitan, macOS (or OS X?) 10.9, I think. (And later even further.) Too much free (and also some useful commercial) software stopped supporting Snow Leopard, so it has to be! (And one very useful free software won't run on El Capitan…)
