On a fresh install of Big Sur with only the Xcode CLI tools installed,
autoconf is not available. Hence it needs to be installed from homebrew
instead.
The new libgccjit Homebrew formula negates the need to install a custom
patched gcc formula from source to get libgccjit.
As it's a separate formula, the file structure is a bit different
though, requiring some changes to the script. This means it is no longer
compatible libgccjit from the custom gcc formula. If you already have
the custom patched gcc formula installed, you can replace it with the
standard gcc formula by running:
brew reinstall gcc
In theory though, it should work even with the patched gcc formula, as
long as libgccjit is installed too. But it will probably produce a
Emacs.app that's around 35MB larger than it needs to, thanks to
duplicating the libgccjit.so.0.0.1 file within the final application.
BREAKING CHANGE: Standard Homewbrew `gcc` and `libgccjit` formula are now required for native-comp, instead of the custom patched gcc formula.
