Dear Anthony and Bernard,
I’ve inspected the FS git-repo a bit. It seems, Anthony, you are regularly pushing to ANSI-branch, so that is the branch you work on, and you keep it updated? Is that where one would build latest versions from? And if building on MacOS, would I also use the Makefile, or go full-play with Xcode? I am on Catalina with Xcode 11.3, I think. Just a week before I noticed the developments on bp, I had set my MacBook up totally from scratch, so there is no going back ;-)
As usual the most adventurous stuff makes one most curious, so I looked up support for the Apple IIgs. It’s actually pretty good. You have to pay small amounts for access, but then it seems pretty collaborative, well documented and open - they even have a matrix of supported C features:

There is even a pretty anarchic sounding *FRENCH* group of IIgs lovers ;-)

I’ve mirrored the repo to my Github-account (https://github.com/bagong/bolprocessor) and added another branch (bagong) where I put Bernad’s php and ctests folders. And a script to run the tests in your first mail automatically. Unfortunately it doesn’t run in Windows, of course. Actually it might be possible to run that stuff from php? In that case cross-platform wouldn’t bee an issue. I hope you don’t mind, Bernard - if yes, I’ll remove it again (or I could make the repo private). I think you don’t work with git? If au contraire you welcome public availability you could send me an occasional snapshot and I would push that to GitHub. The nice thing about that is that you can easily synch on different build-machines. Although I have two computers side-by-side I actually push ’n pull from Github to transfer the repo from one computer to the other - this git stuff is just so well organised that I find that more straightforward than using samba, ssh or ftp in my lan ;-) I am actually pretty curious about your php progress, as I am currently trying to brush up my web capabilities, and I also face php stuff, so some learning from ground with a really interesting topic would be very welcome for me. I just need to get organised to split my time well.
I’ve also added a few links to the README.md on that bagong branch (which appears on the “face” of the Github repo). I hope I got the right ones - who knows somebody bumps into it and get’s interested… But as I said, if you’d prefer keeping this under the radar for the time being, I can switch it to private any time. Btw. Github also allows collaboration in private Repos for free now… wink, wink ;-)
Best
