Can you upgrade to 10.5 ?

Yeah, but 10.5 has working posix threads. It's doubtful whether 10.4 is
worth the effort.
Ordinarily, I detest the idea of pulling support for anything as recent as
just a few years old. But Apple themselves has a habit of ignoring users of
anything except the latest version, so I would think that mac users would be
accustomed to the old routine of their OS becoming a deadend the moment a
new version comes out. So, in this case, I would think that there may
actually be justification in sticking with 10.5+, if you were to so choose.
It turns out that Apple doesn't allow OSX prior to 10.5 to be run in a
VM, so I can't even generate a test environment for 10.4 unless I track
down a spare computer for it. 10.4 may have to remain an unsupported
platform simply by necessity.
