I have the latest Xcode, and the 10.4u SDK is installed.  The same  
thing happens whether or not /usr/local/lib/libcc_dynamic.a is absent  
or is symlinked to /usr/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/libgcc.a.

gcc --version:

Here's the output of Numeric 24.2 python setup.py build; the main  
problem seems to be the -lcc_dynamic flag, although the -framework  
vecLib flag also seems to be raising problems.  Either that or -arch  
i386.  :

Why is it linking ALWAYS causes problems?  Whose bright idea was it  
to spread all these unix programs and their associated files across  
dozens of directories anyway?  Frameworks don't seem that counter  
intuitive and they're a lot cleaner.
