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.
