The linker issues are mentioned in #322372.  They have to do with the
-syslibroot flag on ld.  Apparently a bug in Panther's ld.  Guess things
got a lot further than in 322372 since it at least now builds with that
patch.

I will give the build a shot sometime in the next month or so.

Thanks for the update.
