Yep, I followed the instructions as given at:

http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gtk-osx/wiki/Build

And there are no problems reported building those things.

Yes.

The system was upgraded from 10.5 but the build was started in 10.6

I went one step further and removed ~/.local as well, but I had to  
include git's install directory:

$ rm -rf ~/gtk ~/.local
$ export PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:~/.local/bin:/usr/local/git/bin
$ jhbuild bootstrap
$ jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap meta-gtk-osx-core

With the same outcome - the error compiling "gatomic.c". I tried it  
twice, just to be sure.

I googled the error and found a discussion on an unrelated project's  
site which suggested using "-m32" switch to gcc. I used that and got  
"gatomic.c" to compile. Unfortunately I can't figure how to work that  
into the jhbuild process.
