I found time to work on this again today.  Unless Don's done something
to today's DB tree, It does appear that using MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET
on 10.3 is working now.  I'm not sure why this didn't work before, but
I cleaned, re-configured and rebuilt everything I have.

This time, it works!  The link line is now -undefined dynamic_lookup,
which is what is documented to work on 10.3.  -flat_namespace, as 
expected,
is gone.

So, my particular problem is solved; however, I still suspect that if
someone were to use the other settings, they might have problems.
There was definitely a difference between  using ${wl}-flat_namespace 
${wl}-undefined
${wl}suppress and passing "-flat_namespace -undefined suppress" raw, 
where
the latter worked for me.

Thanks for the help,

George
