 ## Deterministic macOS App Notes
 
-macOS Applications are created in Linux by combining a recent `clang` and the Apple
-`binutils` (`ld`, `ar`, etc).
+macOS Applications are created in Linux using a recent LLVM.
 
 Apple uses `clang` extensively for development and has upstreamed the necessary
 functionality so that a vanilla clang can take advantage. It supports the use of `-F`,
 `-target`, `-mmacosx-version-min`, and `-isysroot`, which are all necessary when
 building for macOS.
 
-Apple's version of `binutils` (called `cctools`) contains lots of functionality missing in the
-FSF's `binutils`. In addition to extra linker options for frameworks and sysroots, several
-other tools are needed as well. These do not build under Linux, so they have been patched to
-do so. The work here was used as a starting point: [mingwandroid/toolchain4](https://github.com/mingwandroid/toolchain4).
-
-In order to build a working toolchain, the following source packages are needed from
-Apple: `cctools`, `dyld`, and `ld64`.
-
-These tools inject timestamps by default, which produce non-deterministic binaries. The
-`ZERO_AR_DATE` environment variable is used to disable that.
-
-This version of `cctools` has been patched to use the current version of `clang`'s headers
-and its `libLTO.so` rather than those from `llvmgcc`, as it was originally done in `toolchain4`.
-
 To complicate things further, all builds must target an Apple SDK. These SDKs are free to
 download, but not redistributable. See the SDK Extraction notes above for how to obtain it.

+    hasn't been exercised for the macOS target.
+
+    - The target OS conditional macros are misused. Specifically
+      `TARGET_OS_MAC` covers all Apple targets, including iOS, and it
+      should not be checked with `#if defined` as they would always be
+      defined (to either 1 or 0) on Apple platforms.
+    - `#include <fp.h>` no longer works for the macOS target and results
+      in a compilation failure. macOS ships all required functions in
+      `math.h`, and clients should use `math.h` instead.

-ANDROID BUILD NOTES
-======================
-
-This guide describes how to build and package the `bitcoin-qt` GUI for Android on Linux and macOS.
-
-
-## Dependencies
-
-Before proceeding with an Android build one needs to get the [Android SDK](https://developer.android.com/studio) and use the "SDK Manager" tool to download the NDK and one or more "Platform packages" (these are Android versions and have a corresponding API level).
-
-The minimum supported Android NDK version is [r23](https://github.com/android/ndk/wiki/Changelog-r23).
-
-In order to build `ANDROID_API_LEVEL` (API level corresponding to the Android version targeted, e.g. Android 9.0 Pie is 28 and its "Platform package" needs to be available) and `ANDROID_TOOLCHAIN_BIN` (path to toolchain binaries depending on the platform the build is being performed on) need to be set.
-
-API levels from 24 to 29 have been tested to work.
-
-If the build includes Qt, environment variables `ANDROID_SDK` and `ANDROID_NDK` need to be set as well but can otherwise be omitted.
-This is an example command for a default build with no disabled dependencies:
-
-    ANDROID_SDK=/home/user/Android/Sdk ANDROID_NDK=/home/user/Android/Sdk/ndk-bundle make HOST=aarch64-linux-android ANDROID_API_LEVEL=28 ANDROID_TOOLCHAIN_BIN=/home/user/Android/Sdk/ndk-bundle/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin
-
-
-## Building and packaging
-
-After the depends are built configure with one of the resulting prefixes and run `make && make apk` in `src/qt`.
