I'm envy you albeit I'd prefer a Leo II.

Duh! What a shice. If you remove the '2>&1' the message becomes visible
and my shell complains about the 'unsupported' --cflags. I wonder whether
test (the other name of '[') shouldn't ignore long options but it's not
just your shell, so I've removed the bogus use of test.

Yes, just remove the brackets. These brackets are not precedence operators
but the shell utility "test" in disguise, so such misuse isn't obvious (to me)
on first sight.

That looks odd. Do you have an idea how the "dSYM" gets in there? You could
add the line below before an affected occurence of rm?
echo "rm='$rm'"

Those are certainly not standard environment variables and I've never seen
them before or set them. Are you talking about their configure scripts? I'd
think they couldn't find a variant of 'sed' or 'grep' that they can handle
on your system respectively in your path. So it's probably just some broken
check but you shouldn't have to set them manually.
