As found by Justin Erenkrantz, the build process for mod_python is using LINKFORSHARED from the Python config Makefile. On Mac OS X though this results in a expansion of:
LDFLAGS= -Wl,-framework,Python -u __dummy -u _PyMac_Error -framework System
$(PYTHONFRAMEWORKDIR)/Versions/$(VERSION)/$(PYTHONFRAMEWORK) -framework
CoreServices -framework Foundation -Wl,-F. -Wl,-F.
where PYTHONFRAMEWORKDIR, VERSION and PYTHONFRAMEWORK aren't defined at the point of expansion. Thus the compile executes with options:
.../libtool --silent --mode=link ccache gcc -o mod_python.la -rpath
.../httpd-trunk/modules -module -avoid-version hlistobject.lo hlist.lo
filterobject.lo connobject.lo serverobject.lo util.lo tableobject.lo
requestobject.lo _apachemodule.lo mod_python.lo -Wl,-framework,Python -u
__dummy -u _PyMac_Error -framework System /Versions// -framework CoreServices
-framework Foundation -Wl,-F. -Wl,-F. -lm -framework Python -ldl
Ie., '/Versions//' gets passed as an option.
So far this has been working without a problem, but looks like the version of gcc which has been supplied with version of XCode distributed around time of Apple WWDC in August 06 no longer will accept this and produces the error:
powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1: /Versions//: No such file or directory
Last known version of gcc to accept it is:
gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5341)
Version that no longer accepts it is:
gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5363)
Suggestion was that LDSHARED should be used instead of LINKFORSHARED. Apparently Subversion had had to address similar problem so can learn from what they have done.
Should be fixed for 3.3 and back ported to 3.2.x or we are going to start getting a lot of complaints.
