All,
Redirecting from http://forum.ipxe.org/showthread.php?tid=6979 at Robin's suggestion...
I'm trying to build this package on Mac OS 10.8.3 (command-line tools from Xcode 4.6.3), but getting an error during the make process. I've only found one hit on the forums, but no resolution - I've got the same issue:

I managed to narrow down the error to this shell call in Makefile.housekeeping:
OLDGAS := $(shell $(AS) --version | grep -q '2\.9\.1' && $(ECHO) -DGAS291)
In this context, it looks like the "fatal" console error is probably cosmetic, and due to --version flag not being supported by 'as'. The real hangup was this hard error:
./include/compiler.h:196:1: error: "__weak" redefined
I searched for "__weak" and only got a hit in compiler.h for its definition. I first tried making it conditional, then tried commenting it out, both with the same result (apparently it's being pre-defined somewhere outside of ipxe's source). That pre-definition may in itself be a conflict, but getting past that error just revealed the next layer of the onion:
[BUILD] bin/__divdi3.o
cc1: error in backend: Global variable 'obj___divdi3' has an invalid section specifier '.provided': mach-o section specifier requires a segment and section separated by a comma.

At Robin's suggestion, I tried make NO_WERROR=1 with the same result.
I'm happy to be a test mule here to get this debugged. Caveat: I'm a hack programmer, so a bit out of my element here; patience please. ;-)
It seems to me that a few things need to be fixed:
* Add some intelligence around the 'as' check to skip it on certain platforms like Xcode
* Figure out what's up with the pre-definition of __weak, and if that's an issue
* Linker error for .provided
Thanks,
Richard
