recently there was the same problem with mmx. if you run ./ configure
--help it will tell you how to build without this sse stuff. these are
some "optimizations" that were included by some guy from Sun and seem to
be unmaintained lately.

I ran it with --disable-mmx, now ld does not support the -rpath switch on
OS X. And there does not seem to be an option to disable it in the configure, at least that I found .

Thats the one I got on PPC since 2.3.6! Folks at IRC told me that this would be an issue outside of GIMP, so I gave up for a while :(

My research indicates this is an issue with GIMP and not something outside
of it. I came across another program with this issue that the programmer
fixed after the users created enough noise.

I unfortunately forgot the url, but one of the users went round and round
with the developer because originally he was not going to fix it. He used
the "it is an issue outside" also, for which the users started calling him
arrogant for having that mentality.

I am sure I will eventually fix GIMP or come up with a work around, at which point I will forward the info on for your consumption.

so, may be we should kick this issue to GIMP-dev and ask for help. May be even a bug should filed for this?

Hopefully somebody can bring some light into this.

So am I to take it that this is an issue with libtool on OS X? Does it work with newer/older versions of libtool? Is this problem specific to MacOS on x86?

As I told you on IRC, engage the libtool people about it. Unless you feel like donating a decent OS X 10.4 machine to a developer, this isn't going to be fixed by just sitting around and whining for it to happen.

You want it fixed, and you're the one who has access to the platform for testing and investigation, so you have to do some legwork.
