Ok, so Most it not all the 'complication' in building mac come from

1/ building mozilla... so --disable-mozilla is a great first step,
next is probably to use the prebuilt binary for mozilla.
2/ having macports of finks packages getting in the way: ironically
many times macports/fink installed version of common tools/libs get in
the way of the SDK, so making sure that your build env does not see
these macport/fink packages if any  is a good thing.

Recently I've had issues with ulimit... especially ulimit -n (max
number of open files). my system defaulted to 256 which prove to be
too low, which made offapi and similar idlc processing module fail.
on my box I added in /etc/launchd,conf

limit maxproc 1024 2000
limit maxfiles 2048 4096

note that I have in /etc/sysctl.conf
[...]
kern.maxfiles=65536
kern.maxproc=2068
kern.maxprocperuid=2068
