    I'm trying old packages from FSF but going nowhere fast.
    Things like

    Marios-Air:~ marius$ gcc --help
    xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun

    xcrun tells you where the compiler+libraries are. (gcc actually invokes
    the LLVM compiler.) It should have been installed with the Developer tools.

    What version of Xcode are you running?

    I think you need to start by saying

    $ xcode-select --install

    On the other hand, xcrun on this machine is at /usr/bin, not /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun. Still, give it a go

    Have you tried GNAT distro from Simon?

    For macOS 10.15 : GNAT FSF 9.1.0 https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuada/files/https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuada/files/GNAT_GCC%20Mac%20OS%20X/9.1.0/native/

    For macOS 12 : GNAT FSF 12.2.0 https://github.com/simonjwright/distributing-gcc/releases/tag/gcc-12.2.0-x86_64

    There are not fully Ada 2012 or 2022 but new features are available with
    option -gnatX.

    I don't have an elderly Mac to hand, but here I don't have /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun. It's in /usr/bin/.

    GCC does invoke clang, but only to compile generated assembly.

    When building GCC for Darwin, it has to be told where to find the
    Software Development Kit (SDK); could be in Xcode or in CommandLineTools
    (or, with my or Alire's current builds, either). It sounds as though
    Marius's compiler was built to look in the CLTs, and either they aren't installed or they're broken.

    "xcrun --show-sdk-path" tells you where to find the installed SDK. If
    there isn't one, or it's in /Applications/Xcode.app, you need to install
    the CLTs. If it's in /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/, you need to
    clean it out and then install the CLTs.

    Cleaning out the CLTs: make a backup and then

    sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

    Installing the CLTs:

    sudo xcode-select --install
