fwiw on my Leopard partition, I'm busy compiling all the
prerequisite projects to use the new SDK, and have been seeing
a number of "new" problems with the new ld, some of which can
be "googled" for remedies but not all are bypassed yet.  Mostly
the folks at MacPorts seem to be on top of things, so I figure
soon enough Apple will know all about these new problems I
hope.  ;)

Presently for Tiger and the libavcodec subtree, I've had to
patch its Makefile in the following manner to get around some
compiler problems.  I wonder if this will work for you on
Leopard?  (it's going to take me quite a while longer to get
all the prereqs ready for ffmpeg & co. on my Leopard system):

Yes it's the -O1 that _finally_ fixed the issue with me on
Tiger, any -O higher will introduce the register problem in
dsputil_mmx.c with Apple's compiler.

If you/anyone tries this, let us know if this helps please?
