Thanks for all of the hints.  Now that you mention it, though, I have  
several other questions, even though maybe a bit off topic here - I  
seem to recall that Apple has (or had) a site for developers to test- 
compile for different OS X versions and architectures.  Has anybody  
managed to find the site and/or tried builds there?  Also, just how  
patched is the Xcode compiler?  We do test on a lot of GCC versions  
around here - has anyone tried this universal binary code generation  
from a generic GCC release?

Thanks again,

Robert
