As a general comment, you seem to have multiple versions of libraries
and compilers on your system(s), and to like using lots of compiler
flags. You have lots of bug reports about various weird things on
different flavours of Mac OS X. There doesn't seem to be anyone
interested in debugging most of them, so I would suggest just finding a
single simple build configuration that works for you, and sticking with
it, rather than trying to explore every possible build configuration.
