Look in the README file:
Mac OS X: You need to add the "-traditional-cpp" option to the
compiler command line for the Mac OS X Public Beta. This is
appearantly a bug in the default pre-processor, and is
expected not to be a problem with future versions. Run
configure with "OPT='-g -traditional-cpp' ./configure
--with-suffix=.exe --with-dyld" to add this
option. One of the regular expression tests fails due to the
small stack size used by default (how to change this?), and
the test_largefile test is only expected to work on a Unix UFS
filesystem (how to check for this on Mac OS X?).
