That's correct. The Cocoa port of Qt requires MacOS X 10.5.

That does not affect the Carbon port. It can still build with a target of 
10.3 (even though it has to be compiled on a Tiger or a Leopard).

Hmm... so you're saying we should have -mmacosx-version-min set to 10.5 by 
default, so that a full universal build will work out of the box?

Qt on Mac should not link to the X11 libraries. So this is really weird.

Any chance you can investigate further? It is probably some third-party 
library that got loaded by mistake (or built by mistake in X11 mode).
