Well, I don't have any provision for doing that.  Whatever method you  
choose, just please make it automatic.  I don't want to have to  
configure something to make compilation work on OS X.

It would be best if it would be a CONFIG setting so that then applets  
could depend upon !CONFIG_MACOSX or depend upon CONFIG_GNUC and  
CONFIG_LINUX.  But I don't know how you want to make the configure  
system automatically detect the platform.  Probably you'll want to  
make it also detect the C library, so probably something like "echo |  
cpp -dM | grep APPLE" because then you can also detect glibc/uclibc  
in the same fashion.

Also, if you're interested in my uname output:

Darwin HeyZues.local 8.4.0 Darwin Kernel Version 8.4.0: Tue Jan  3  
18:22:10 PST 2006; root:xnu-792.6.56.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC Power  
Macintosh powerpc

Basically, just look for the "Darwin" word, since Mac OS X also  
exists on x86.  GCC also seems to like to call me powerpc-apple-darwin8.
