Just to put this into context for those of you Mac OS X users who may 
be worried by it...  The distributed binaries work with Jaguar (Mac OS 
X 10.2 and later), and include the necessary drivers for X11 and 
OpenGL.  You need only download the beta release of the X11 server from 
Apple's website to get the whole thing operational.  From my 
experience, hardware support for OpenGL rendering is pretty good with 
the Apple server.

The issues here were raised by someone who needs to recompile 3.5 under 
Mac OS X 10.1, which uses a different set of libraries.  There, it is 
difficult to find the appropriate Xlib library to link to, as Apple 
(stupidly) doesn't include it with their gcc compiler.
