macos - failure with xcode headers `"Libc++ only supports Clang 16 and later"`

[sean-parent]

It looks like the supplied version of cling doesn't work with new XCode headers. I tried pulling the MacOSX10.9.sdk from Xcode 5.1.1 (the version that I believe cling was built against) and setting CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH to point to the include director, but I got the same error. I can't use xcode-select on that old an Xcode version.

Has anyone been able to get this going on macOS recently? I'm running on an Intel macOS 15.3, Xcode 16.2. Is there a way to point xeus-cling and a particular set of libcxx headers?

Failed to start the Kernel.
