Ah, OK. Was there some Xcode that came with both a 10.6 SDK *and* a
gcc 4.2 then? Making this SDK and compiler selection work
automatically in all the combinations is a bit hard it seems.

Eek, thanks, fixed now.

I don't think that's a good idea, it mixes up options for the build
and host platforms. (Consider the case of cross-compiling from an
Intel Mac to PowerPC-based Mac, in theory it should be possible to use
a current Xcode and SDK for the build platform code, and Xcode 3 +
10.4 SDK for the host platform. Not that there seems to be much
interest in trying out such cross-compilations.)

There is the --with-build-platform-configure-options switch for that,
you can pass --with-build-platform-configure-options=--with-macosx-sdk=10.6.

You seem to understand it quite nicely, thanks!
