notmuch 0.19 build fails on OS X 10.6 with gcc 4.2.1 with undefined symbols

[Ryan Schmidt]

Hello,

I'm a developer with the MacPorts project and I discovered that notmuch 0.19 does not build on Mac OS X 10.6 with its gcc 4.2.1 compiler. The errors are:

Here is a full log, from the MacPorts project's automated build server:

https://build.macports.org/builders/buildports-snowleopard-x86_64/builds/35355/steps/compile/logs/stdio


I have tried to understand what's happening here but I'm not a C programmer and I'm not succeeding. The build succeeds on OS X 10.7, 10.8, 10.9 and 10.10 with the clang compiler.

Please let me know if you need additional information!

Those are all supposed to be defined in util/libutil.a. At a glance the
command line looks plausible. It's a long shot, but you could make sure
they are there using e.g.

% nm util/libutil.a

Beyond that, I'm hoping some Mac user will have some ideas.
