The post-patch is needed on Leopard -- that's my primary system and I can confirm it.
I got my hands on a 10.4.11 system myself and confirmed what you found, so I'm attaching an updated patch.
As an aside, it sure would be nice to have a 10.3, 10.4, and 10.5 machine available to maintainers for testing... or if not maintainers then at least committers!
That could be nice... but has some complications. First, getting funds and getting machines. I suppose three Mac minis could be found for cheap (ideally five: three PowerPC OSes, two Intel ones). Then, probably each committer would need their own user account with their own MacPorts installation, so as not to step on one another's toes. And then there's the problem that not all ports can install without root access, which none of the commiters would likely have on these testing boxes.

True on all points. I never claimed it was easy :) I just tried using the 10.4 SDK (-isysroot, -mmacosx-version-min, etc.) on my Leopard system to reproduce the results on Tiger and it worked. Does anyone have any experience using that approach to test for different platforms? Would it be a decent poor-man's workaround, or just a waste of time? -- Matt Meissner meissnem at gmail.com
