a little experimenting on 10.5 today shows this:

So - as you can see - MacPorts ld64 port on 10.5 will default to linking in
10.6 libraries if you don't specify otherwise.
This gives me another clue: if it is ld64 is it building a universal
binary? I am on a 32bit Mac.
This question goes beyond ArcticFox, you mentioned ld64 issues for
TenFourFox and that one is 32bit only because it uses Carbon.
This is probably not ideal behaviour on 10.5, but nobody is going to change
those defaults now. So passing in the flag is the answer.
Not ideal at all - I probably never build 64bit or universal on 10.5
Your fix looks nice however!
