I've been running plan9ports on my 10.4.2 box for months; I just now  
re-built from a clean new .tgz under 10.4.3, straight from the  
command line using the INSTALL script.
No problems whatsoever.  Didn't try from within XCode though.  Hardly  
use the thing: acme+gdb does better.

And if someone who understands these things well is interested,
I'd love to see acid be able to stand in for gdb on OS X as well
as Linux and BSD.  On the x86 machines, the main stumbling
block is that I don't know how to implement process controls like
breakpoints and single-stepping: stack dumps and memory access
works already.  On the PowerPC, I don't even know how to do
stack dumps right.

Even without process control, I use acid far more than I use gdb
on x86 Linux and BSD.

just wait a few more months... then the x86 code will work on OS X as  
well.
