Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 I see [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4010069/problem-on-mac-cant-
 find-a-register-in-class-breg-while-reloading-asm this similar report],
 indicating it's a problem with position-independent code, which on OS X is
 generated by default; it shows flags we could try to disable PIC.
 Alternately, it suggests it's a problem with the old gcc on Leopard; we
 could try using gcc 4.2 which is also available in Leopard's Xcode, but
 not on Tiger's, so we'd need a different solution there. Finally, we
 should report this to the developers of webp. I checked the binary they
 have for Leopard, and it's compiled only for x86_64, which is strange
 because that's not the default architecture on Leopard. Perhaps it was
 made on Snow Leopard, with Snow Leopard's newer gcc. I will test these
 various theories when I get back to my Leopard machine.
