Right -- this is exactly the kind of error you get when the UNIX03  
signals stuff is used with OCaml.  This is why you need to use the  
three commands described earlier.  Something like the following should  
work:

platform darwin 9 {
         # In DP 1.6...
         #    macosx_deployment_target 10.4

         # For now, specify manually to build with Tiger-style:
         configure.env-append MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4
         build.env-append MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4
         destroot.env-append MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4
}
