| Mac OS X Tiger was released in 2004: 12 years ago, 3 years after Windows XP. The Tiger buildbot has many issues, it uses an old compiler (GCC 4.0) and an old OpenSSL version. Python 3.6 now requires ISO C99 support, whereas Tiger GCC 4.0 lacks support for C99 "extern inline" functions: issue #28092. I propose to officially stop supporting Mac OS X Tiger in Python 3.6: modify the PEP 11 and What's New in Python 3.6 to announce the end of the support. Python 3.5 would be the last version supporting Tiger. | ||

| The "x86 Tiger 3.6" and "x86 Tiger 3.x" buildbots currently fail to compile Python: * http://buildbot.python.org/all/builders/x86%20Tiger%203.6 * http://buildbot.python.org/all/builders/x86%20Tiger%203.x | ||

| With the recent changes (fd9a4bd16587) in Issue28092 to make the dtrace stubs static inline, 3.6 once again compiles and links with the Xcode 2.5 gcc4.0 on Mac OS X 10.4. We can look at this again for 3.7. | ||

| TBH I don't think we need to care about OS X Tiger. I mean Apple itself doesn't care about it anymore, the last release was 10 years ago. How about we drop its buildbot? | ||

| I agree, as long as there are other buildbots for macOS (and there appear to be buildbots for macOS 10.12 and 10.13). It would be nice to have buildbots running the OS releases for which installers are build (10.6 and 10.9), but that's a different issue. |
