It confirms what I'm working through.

crt1.o located at /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/lib/crt1.o
crt1.10.5.0 at /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/lib/crt1.10.5.o

So I'm trying to find how to get these directories included in the
compilation. I thought --with-libs and/or --with-includes would have
helped. But it didn't.

This is what I ran (I'm running this from a script so I can repeat it)

--------------------------------------
cd /Users/tom/src/postgresql-8.3.4

export PATH=$PATH:/Developer/usr/bin/

./configure \
--with-libs=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/lib/ \
--with-includes=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/lib/

But I'm on the same error...
