[PD-dev] Mac SDK version for externals

[Dan Wilcox]

The compiler builds for the current system by default. You have to set the min deployment target when building.

Add this flag to you makefile: --mmacosx-version-min=10.6

The current version for Pd is 10.6 which is the first version that supported i386 (ie. Intel processors).
