Why do we suspect this is an Apple bug?  Maybe I am confused, but Hans
said that the build works if he uses CMake's 'unix makefiles' generator
instead of its 'Xcode' generator.  Wouldn't that make it more likely to
be a CMake bug?

Which upgrade?  I find it unlikely that the 10.5.4 upgrade would cause
this.  The gcc version is unaffected by the Mac OS X version.  gcc does
not get changed by the 10.5.4 upgrade, nor do system .h files.

>Is there an expectation that APPLE will fix this anytime soon ?

If it is an Apple bug, it will only get fixed if we file a bug in their
bug database.  I could do that, but we'd need simpler repro steps...
