Git on Mac OS X 10.4.10

[Markus Hitter <mah@jump-ing.de>]

I'm new to this list, so: Hello everybody!

My backup servers run Mac OS X 10.4.10. Yes, these are old, but very
reliable and easily up to the task. And Mac OS X 10.4 is the latest OS
supported there (PowerPC G3).

Recently I tried to upgrade to v2.0.4 (from 1.7.11.4).

Issue 1: I get many of these warnings:

    LINK [many cases]
/usr/bin/ld: warning multiple definitions of symbol _regcomp
libgit.a(regex.o) definition of _regcomp in section (__TEXT,__text)
/usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/../../../libSystem.dylib(regcomp.So)
definition of _regcomp
/usr/bin/ld: warning multiple definitions of symbol _regexec
libgit.a(regex.o) definition of _regexec in section (__TEXT,__text)
/usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/../../../libSystem.dylib(regexec.So)
definition of _regexec
/usr/bin/ld: warning multiple definitions of symbol _regfree
libgit.a(regex.o) definition of _regfree in section (__TEXT,__text)
/usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/../../../libSystem.dylib(regfree.So)
definition of _regfree

Is this expected?


Issue 2: I need this simple patch ...

... and this command sequence ...

make all
touch imap-send.o
touch git-imap-send
make all

... to get it compiling. All, except git-imap-send, obviously, which is
no loss for my purposes.

I tried many releases, the patch requirement started with about v1.9.1,
the git-imap-send failure somewhere between 1.8.1.6 and 1.8.4.3.

Trying to be a good Open Source citizen, how would I proceed?


Thanks,
Markus
