You need to do what it says in your attachment:

Before reporting a bug, first run the command again with the -d flag to get complete output.

Otherwise, there's not a lot of info to go on.

Once you've rerun with the debug switch, file this as a ticket in the issue tracker.

I see you're building universal for ppc and i386, and that you're on an iBook. Do you really need to build universal? What benefit does building the Intel code give you on a PowerPC Mac? I recommend you simply don't use the universal variant to avoid this error.
