943.3 seconds to compile clang 3.8 from source in a docker container when maxing out every core of my M1 MacBook Air. Why am I doing this you ask? Well, I have some fun #retrotech things coming... hopefully in time for #MARCHintosh 🤫

I promise I will post full details on TinkerDifferent soon (hopefully before #MARCHintosh ends), but I have been working on something really cool.

Its a Docker based cross-compiler for Mac OS X and iPhone apps. So far I have been able to compile a single binary with 4 slices that will run on:

・Tiger+ (PPC, X86)
・Leopard+ (PPC, X86, X64)
・Big Sur+ (X64, ARM64).

Its just a simple AppKit app that draws a red window. But it all works! I'm super excited with how much easier it will be to build #retrotech Mac and iPhone software with this Docker container!

Sorry, I know the screenshots have a lot going on, but I tried to highlight the important parts.
