FYI,

scitbx/array_family/tst_af_4.exe
Total OK: 1300
[crack:~/tmp/debug] bob% gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc/3.3/specs
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1435)

This is OS X 10.2.6, with the XCode preview dev tools, the gcc 3.3  
compiler selected, and MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.2 environment  
variable

I'm just finishing CVS co right now to check out Boost.Python w/ Python  
2.3, I'll make another post later about how that goes.
