Hi, just wanted to clarify a little. The Emacs Daniel is running is from
emacsformacosx.com. It was built by me from the GNU source (pristine: no
extra patches) with this script:
<https://github.com/caldwell/build-emacs>, the salient part being lines
28 and 29 in "build-emacs-functions":

    (cd $SRC && env CC="$GCC -mmacosx-version-min=$MIN_OS" ./configure
--host=$HOST --build=i686-apple-darwin --with-ns &&
        env CC="$GCC -mmacosx-version-min=$MIN_OS" make clean install)

which can be con boiled down to

    ./configure --host=$HOST --build=i686-apple-darwin --with-ns &&
        make clean install

The build script runs as a normal unprivileged user and sudo is not
involved so the "don't build as root" resolution in bug 5683 doesn't
seem to apply in this case.

It could certainly still be a problem building--I'm not going to claim
my build script is beyond reproach. :-) But at this point it doesn't
appear that way.
