It is, I thought I'd "do a quick build for mac first".

I did the easy hack on Ubuntu for simplicity. I wanted to switch to the mac
as it's a much more powerful machine, but I can retreat if need be.

I'm really sorry about that. The reason as you know was my final exams
stretched on for pretty much the whole community bonding period. However,
since that's my problem, I had always intended to sprint to catch up as
I've no other commitments for the next 12 weeks.

I thought I had, autogen.lastrun:

CC_FOR_BUILD=ccache clang -arch i386 -mmacosx-version-min=10.6
CXX_FOR_BUILD=ccache clang++ -arch i386 -mmacosx-version-min=10.6
--with-build-platform-configure-options=--with-macosx-version-min-required=10.6
--with-macosx-sdk=10.6
--disable-mozilla
--disable-nss-module #I've tried with / without this
--without-doxygen
--without-myspell-dicts
