Nope, it's right: for all practical pusposes MacOS X is a next, for
the time being.

> cc -g -O2 -OPT:Olimit=0 -I./../Include -I.. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H   -c -o

> dynload_next.c:60: header file 'mach-o/rld.h' not found
> dynload_next.c:81: undefined type, found `NXStream'

This is easy to fix: there is a define in (I think)dynload_next.c to
make it switch between two types of dynamic loading. Pick the
non-default one and it'll work. I can't check the exact details right
now because I'm away from the office and my MacOSX machine is running
MacOS9 at the moment.
