FWIW, I can't reproduce on PPC Mac OS X 10.4.11.  The difference
between hg:dd9030354e14 (mine) and hg:d00347ec8289 (yours) is that
mine has a Mercurial tag for r21-5-28 and yours doesn't.  Same
configure command, but obviously the systems are different, GCC is
Apple's 4.0.1, and you have a bunch of libraries (PostgreSQL, sound,
and Wnn) that I don't.  I also tried with a bare "./configure", and
got the same successful result.
