Turns out that, if you have Xcode 3 installed on your system, you can run the
installer for Xcode 3.2.6 (a 4GB download from Apple's developer site), and get
a full installation of the tools.
The next glitch in building Sage is that readline fails to build. As a test, I
tried to build from scratch from readline.6.2 source, and it failed in more or
less the same way.
I can't tell right now if this is an "autoconf" glitch or something deeper
("-compatibility_version only allowed with -dynamiclib").
