I've just hit the same error on OS X 10.5 / i386. It was a fresh  
build, using existing package downloads. Apart from using a local  
python build (_gtk_osx_use_jhbuild_python = True) and a custom  
moduleset added to the 'moduleset' list, it's verbatim.

The symbol GI_TYPE_TAG_UINT looks as if it should be declared by  
gobject-introspection in girepository/gitypes.h . That file has a  
note that "These were removed and no longer appear in the typelib".

If it wasn't building fine on John's machine, I'd say it was a  
dependency issue - pygobject relying on obsolete gobject- 
introspection defines. Downgrading to gobject-introspection-0.9.2  
didn't fix things, though.
