Hi Matthias,
I've seen errors like this with ports that I maintain, and a page on
the GMP website says that it is a bug with the Apple linker provided
in XCode [1]:
"The linker has a long-standing and serious bug that causes
references from one file to common data in another file to give
spurious error messages about undefined symbols, unless there are
also references to the text segment between the same files."
(Note that the GMP page suggests that it affects the 32-bit Intel
version but not others; I've only tested this on my MacBook Pro, so I
can't say for sure that you're experiencing the same problem on your
PowerBook, but it looks exactly the same.)
The only way to work around this is for the Seahorse source code to
be patched, but I'm afraid I don't really understand the error and
how to fix it (I either had upstream developers fix them for me, or
took inspired guesses from commented patches that I saw in other
people's source). I've CC'ed this message to the maintainer also, so
he can hopefully pass it on to the upstream developers for them to fix.
Kind regards,
Maun Suang
