You mean the weird @__________________________________________________
stuff? I think that is something we can get rid of once we stop
supporting 10.4.

I am not sure, but I think it should be. I tried that some time last
year, building with a current compiler but attempting to tell it to
produce binaries that will run on 10.4. I don't recall how far I got,
probably something more important and/or interesting intervened, and
in any case I don't have any machine running 10.4 to test the result
on ;)
