Also a pull request https://github.com/apc-io/platform_system_core/pull/1 to system/core -- command arguments must come before files list in darwin.

Attachment: Github pull request for b2g-manifest

With this pull request to manifest and the one [1] for system/core, one may now follow the same build instructions for Flatfish on MDN [2] and builds Vixen on Mac OS X 10.9 or above with Xcode 4.x [3].

To begin verification:

  1) pull the two pull requests into your vixen repo.

    $ repo sync prebuilts/gcc/darwin-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.6 \
                prebuilts/gcc/darwin-x86/arm/arm-linux-androideabi-4.6

  2) You need Xcode 4.x to build flatfish/vixen. The one I used is Xcode v4.4.1. Use `xcode-select -switch <Xcode.app path>` to choose an appropriate version.

  3) Start the build:

    $ export BUILD_MAC_SDK_EXPERIMENTAL=1
    $ nice -n 20 ./build.sh

  4) You may find Gecko configure script hangs during the process. Just press ^C and run build.sh again to continue.  See bug 995864.

[3]: only Mac OS X 10.9.4 was tested because that's all I have. Only Xcode v4.4.1 was tested, but I think all Xcode 4.x variants should work based on prior experience of Flatfish.

Github pull request for b2g-manifest

r=me if you remove pdk from the groups. That's just for the sake of consistency with the other binary toolchain entries.
