Long response Tom, I'll see what I can do.

I'm attempting to install 4.8 now to see how that goes.

Between your response and Jeremy's I did a 'locate'. I find the following files which match "crt1" in an SDK folder (there are actually more but they are within the Xcode.app folders.

What would it take to have it also look here for these? Is this something done by our code or someone else's?

I use Fink for almost anything that it can do and manual for everything else. I can check my notes on other things, but GM was definitely done with Fink.

So it seems like if I change the path it's looking for (per Jeremy's email) to the path listed above I should be able to get this to work.

I'll look after dinner and get back to you.
