 Replying to [comment:4 jeremyhu@…]:

 > This looks like a case of Tiger's linker not unerstanding some load
 commands in the dylib.  Please try using a MacPorts compiler (like gcc-
 apple-4.2) instead of the default compiler.

 I took from xorg-xcb-util's Portfile this block (with vi line numbers from
 quartz-wm's Portfile):

 {{{
      31 if {${configure.compiler} == "gcc-4.0"} {
      32     configure.compiler gcc-4.2
      33     if {![file exists ${configure.cc}]} {
      34         depends_build-append port:apple-gcc42
      35         configure.compiler apple-gcc-4.2
      36     }
      37 }
 }}}

 The build succeeded but the installation first failed because an
 unrecorded /opt/local/bin/quartz-wm of version 1.0.1 already existed. I
 renamed it manually and the installation then succeeded. Otool still
 reports:

 {{{
 Load command 7
       cmd ?(0x00000024) Unknown load command
   cmdsize 16
 000a0400 00000000
 }}}
