Yaroslav Fedevych:

This is a ticket that would track progress on making a build tooling which would enable reliable building of PyPy for macOS. One of the objectives is an ability to produce a standalone binary which can run even on a freshly-installed OS, without xcode-tools or Homebrew. Another is to eliminate the unfortunate cases when an officially-distributed binary is tied to the OS version so much that it fails to launch anywhere else.

When building with Homebrew, the tooling must use as many Homebrew-provided libraries as possible.

And of course, library lookups must remain cross-platform and not break any other builds.

The tooling itself must be reproducible enough so it should be easy to replicate by anyone else, without being tied to specific binaries versions, and it shouldn't be sensitive to whatever else the user might have installed.
