These two issues are causing several ports to fail:

1) the "opengl library" bug (e.g. #12997, #13075)

=> ld: cycle in dylib re-exports with /usr/X11/lib/libGL.dylib

See  
http://wiki.finkproject.org/index.php/Fink:Packaging: 
Preparing_for_10.5#OpenGL_Bug for instance

2) the "extern inline" bug (e.g. #13006, 13094)

=> ld: duplicate symbol _g_bit_nth_lsf in foo.o and bar.o

See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=315437 and  
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Inline.html


Hopefully the root cause will be fixed by Apple
in for instance Mac OS X 10.5.1 and Xcode 3.0.1...

Meanwhile various ports are trying some various
workarounds around these issues, in order to run.
