Trying to build 8.2beta1 on MacOS G5 Xserver, OS version 10.4.7.  I got

What Xcode version have you got?  My recollection is that this is the
symptom of trying to build with pre-10.4 Xcode tools on 10.4.

(Yeah, time to download that 800MB file again :-( ... but at least it's
free...)
        regards, tom lane

Looks like that might be the case (my gcc is from 2003!).  I'll try 
again after updating and let you know for sure.

Thanks, Tom.

For the archive, upgrading to Xcode 2.4 did the trick.
