The earlier messages described the situation as follows: if you try to
compile the 32-bit version with PIC gcc runs out of registers. On
earlier OS X versions you could avoid that by compiling it without PIC.
Now 10.5 fails to support shared libraries with text relocations (on any
platform). So it IS an issue of text relocations.
