System: Darwin 24.6.0 Darwin Kernel Version 24.6.0: Wed Oct 15 21:12:21 PDT
2025; root:xnu-11417.140.69.703.14~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64


>Description:

	avr-gcc does not compile on recent macOS SDK >= 26.1. The issue is
	related to the replacement of ctype.h with safe-ctype.h in the gcc 13.2
	source. The safe-ctype.h header enforce that islower isalpha and other
	functions are not used. However, the macOS SDK does use them causing the
	compilation to fail.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Simply run `bmake build`.

>Fix:
	Below is a easy solution that adds a patch to the gcc source code,
	disabling the replacement of islower, isalpha, etc on Darwin platform.
