The DMG is a universal binary--it should run fine/natively on your MacBook.

That much I knew. I thought gcc did further optimizations based on the specific processor of the machine in which it was compiled on.


gcc isn't magic--it compiles based on whatever instructions are given to it. If you tell it to compile for a single architecture only, it will do that. If you tell it to compile as a universal binary and you have the appropriate libraries/SDK installed, it will do that instead.


Still, in any event, why doesn't it compile "out of the box" (for those who want to)?


I don't know, it worked for me on 10.4.10 Intel. I did things a bit differently than you--I ran "configure" and then "make" in two steps. Try that and see if it works.
