Actually on reflection this conditional may be why the proposed patch doesn't
work under 10.6 with Xcode 4.2. That configuration, unlike Xcode 4.5.2/4.6
on 10.7/10.8, doesn't cause HAVE_ELF_STYLE_WEAKREF to be defined and the
testcase was failing with undefined symbols for _ZdlPv. Since Xcode 4.2
has an undefined dynamic lookup bug and Iain said the patch worked with
Xcode 3.2.6 on 10.6, I didn't explore further. I can test tomorrow removing
the "&& !defined (__MACH__)" from libitm/eh_cpp.cc and libitm/alloc_cpp.cc
to see if that fixes the Xcode 4.2/10.6 combination. However, from the
original comments added to the code, this likely will cause the problem
with undefined weak refs being improperly handled at link to time to return
for older Xcode's. Do we know exactly which Xcode releases show that issue?
