I regularly compile on OSX 10.2.8 with the Dec 2002 developer tools,
although I usually target macppc or i386.
I don't know anyone who has yet tried to build with a newer apple
developers kit, so that may need something fixed to make it work. In
addition, there is an issue with the 'join' utility that came on the
machine: (Which apple had imported originally from NetBSD)
$ ident /usr/bin/join.dist
/usr/bin/join.dist:
$NetBSD: join.c,v 1.13 1998/08/25 20:59:38 ross Exp $
But this has been since fixed in our sources
$ ident /usr/bin/join
/usr/bin/join:
$NetBSD: join.c,v 1.21 2002/07/24 17:03:00 jonb Exp $
Do you might try replacing the join on your system with
one compiled from our tree. It should compile pretty easily,
or I can put a binary where you can grab it. Unfortunately,
I don't remember what the failure was, so I can't tell for sure
if it will fix your problem.
In any case, I can verify that the tree does compile on osx.
