Building 1.11.18 on MacOS X 10.3.7

[Rick Genter]

I am trying to build cvs-1.11.18 on MacOS X 10.3.7. The configure step is
failing early on with the following (from config.log):

configure:2269: checking for C compiler default output file name
configure:2272: cc    conftest.c  >&5
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/libSystem.dylib load command 9 unknown cmd field
configure:2275: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
| /* confdefs.h.  */
|
| #define PACKAGE_NAME "Concurrent Versions System (CVS)"
| #define PACKAGE_TARNAME "cvs"
| #define PACKAGE_VERSION "1.11.18"
| #define PACKAGE_STRING "Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.18"
| #define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT "bug-cvs@gnu.org"
| /* end confdefs.h.  */
|
| int
| main ()
| {
|
|   ;
|   return 0;
| }
configure:2314: error: C compiler cannot create executables

I haven't done any command-line development on MacOS X before (lots on Linux
and Windows), so I'm not sure how to proceed. Does anyone have any
suggestions?
