Does that matter? We already have a build process that works for earlier
Mac OS.  It sounds like as long as both GCC 8 and 9 are supported, we might
be OK.  But I’m sort of speculating.

and I saw somebody complaining it having clang listed as a dependency.


LilyPond having Clang listed as a dependency, or GCC having Clang as a
dependency?

Hmm.  At this point I should probably stop speculating and set up a build
environment.  But I’m getting married in a month and am not committing to
any big projects before the wedding. :)
