This seems very useful. I'll try to use it for the (currently very brittle) `Sv2Transport` tests in #29432, and review it along the way.

Adds missing `g++` for macOS. This is needed by Qt:

Removes `bsdmainutils` for macOS, as couldn't see where it's needed, and could complete a build with it uninstalled.
Can re-add if someone knows what it's needed for.

It's a shame that this triggers a reallocation when `m_offset == 0`. Might it be worth optimizing for that case?

I tried to track down if/how it could be a race condition, but given that it's in init and all locks seems to be in place, I don't see how that could possibly be the case.

Is the bump to .14 also for clang 18, or is that just incidental?

Actually, same comment for `operator=` as well. Maybe it'd be worth a special case in `Reallocate()` itself instead.

Mostly incidental. We've got to rebuild all Qts after dropping the android patches changes from #30049, so seemed like a convenient time. I also try to bump to the newest source (if possible) before introducing new patches.

Are you imagining something like `realloc` on the buffer? AFAIK that just doesn't exist in C++; if you want to shrink an object, you need to construct a new object of smaller size and copy over.

Put the generic parts from `StaticContentsSock` into a separate class `ZeroSock` so that they can be reused in other mocked `Sock` implementations.

Add a new `DynSock` whose `Recv()` and `Send()` methods can be controlled after the object is created. To achieve that, the caller/creator of `DynSock` provides to its constructor two pipes (FIFOs) - recv-pipe and send-pipe. Whatever data is written to recv-pipe is later received by `DynSock::Recv()` method and whatever data is written to the sock

Can re-add if someone knows what it's needed for.

IIRC this was needed for hexdump, which is needed to build some tests. Maybe it's already installed by something else?

Right. So not needed to compile depends, but needed by our buildsystem for test-related things. Given that sounds like it's a dependency for all platforms in any case, then it could just be moved into `Common`, if we want to keep it in the depends readme?

⚠️ fanquake opened an issue: "build: make macOS build Clang only"
(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/30206)
It should be possible to have a macOS (release) build environment that only uses Clang, and has no GCC toolchain installed.

Currently that's not possible, because Qt still reaches out to `g++`. This can be demo'd by Guix building this branch: https://github.com/fanquake/bitcoin/tree/guix_macos_no_gcc, which removes the `gcc-toolchain` package, and associated build infra from the macOS env. It will fail with:
```bash

Have done this.

ACK ecb278bb19c53b007380e262fa86d809255eeb49, I have reviewed the code and it looks OK.

It seems worth considering to add a couple of edge cases to the `src/test/fuzz/vecdeque.cpp` like self-assignment and self-swap.
