After yet another wasted hour on a non-free OS,
some questions regarding makefile.mac:

* what is -O6?  It throws an error right off the bat.  (I changed it to 
-O3 to fix)
* why is there "-arch ppc" as well as i386?
* Why is there -isysroot?  If I'm using Xcode 4.6 the directory
specified after that flag in makefile.mac doesn't exist, and I get an error
that stdlib.h doesn't exist.
* Any hint what -isysroot should be to find something as
common as stdlib.h?
* Is "make -f makefile.mac" supposed to compile using cc, gcc, or 
something else?

Slowly getting there,
Jonathan
