RE[5]: fatal error: could not build module 'Foundation', error: redefinition of module 'libxml2', and more

Totally certainly a false positive.

These virus scanners rely on heuristics. Here they're coming across a file they never heard of yet, that contains references to paths to various iOS system libraries (necessarily, because the purpose of this tool is to check for iOS library dependencies). That's enough for these junk scanners to flag it as malware.

Sheesh.

If you want, I can provide you its source code (it's quite short) and you compile it yourself...

*edit* I'll recompile it and sign it digitally. Signed executables are usually much better tolerated by virus scanners.

*edit 2* Here it is, signed by me. You can download it again at the same URL. Let me know.
