#69992 new enhancement

port:cctools : also build libmacho

Port: cctools

Description

A suggestion for a small but potentially useful enhancement on older systems: let port:cctools also install an up-to-date libmacho.dylib.

Potential use at least in a future version of port:cmake as CMake is set to gain an internal UB architecture detection algorithm, as a replacement of parsing the output of lipo -info.

There's probably little real need to control this feature via a variant but I used one anyway "just in case".

In case anyone wonders:the cctools Makefile doesn't make building all the shared libraries the project can build trivial: setting BUILD_DYLIBS=YES leads to attempts to write under $prefix during the build.

I failed to get simpler post-build step to work, of the form system -W ${worksrcpath}/libmacho "${build.cmd} ${build.pre_args} ${build.post_args}", because of quoting problems.
