Legacy from 10.1.x or 10.2.x support, probably.  We definitely used 
"-undefined suppress" all over the place, on purpose, in the 10.1 days. 
  Possibly my fault?  I know I compiled a lot of things "-undefined 
suppress" in those days because it was the first way that I could make 
things (kinda) work.  A lot of ignorance on my part, and not enough 
documentation on Apple's :)

I think this month, or maybe last, marks three years of Mac use for 
me...   Sometime in the Summer was 3 years of Python :)
