OK, this problem must be something similar to the linking problems I
have with suncc on Linux. Even though I specify everything on the
Configure.pl command-line in terms of --cc and --link, it magically
switches to g++ when trying to link. Obviously, then, the hints or
something that runs after is misbehaving and redefining variables
configuration variables.

As noted previously, once I reverted to the previous order of running
the steps, I had no problem. I've successfully run 'make' quite a
few times since then.
I'm still not seeing the effects of the bug you describe, btw. (on OS X
intel or ppc). It does remind me of issues I had when attempting to use
the GMP libs, though.

Do you still get the bug when you revert the change to Configure.pl?

I tried reverting the change in a local copy of svn head today: seems to
work the same for me either way, so unless another platform objects,
let's switch it back if it fixes things for you.

Was out all day; I'll look into it this weekend. Thanks for checking
up on it.

This morning, I checked out a fresh version from trunk: r17419. I
ran myconfigure.sh, which internally called the HEAD version of
Configure.pl.
#!/bin/sh
CC="/usr/bin/gcc-3.3"
CX="/usr/bin/g++-3.3"
/usr/local/bin/perl Configure.pl --cc="$CC" --cxx="$CX" --
link="$CX" --ld="$CX" --without-icu --without-gmp $@
The configuration built thereby is attached in 'myconfig.first.txt'.
I then ran 'make'. 'make' failed; here's the output starting at line
601:
make[1]: Leaving directory `/Users/jimk/work/fresh/docs'
src/nci_test.c
c++ -bundle -undefined suppress -L/usr/local/lib -L/Users/jimk/
work/fresh/blib/lib -flat_namespace \
-o runtime/parrot/dynext/libnci_test.bundle src/nci_test.o -lm
c++: couldn't run 'undle-gcc-4.0.3': No such file or directory
<-- line 605
make: *** [runtime/parrot/dynext/libnci_test.bundle] Error 1
Note the 'undle-gcc-4.0.3' in line 605. This misspelling is a
different instance of the same problem that we addressed with
'myconfigure.sh'.
I then reverted to the previous version of Configure.pl, which I
attach as 'my_Configure.pl'. I called 'make realclean',
'myconfigure.sh'. The resulting configuration created is attached as
'myconfig.second.txt', but here's the diff between the two myconfig's:
[fresh] 514 $ diff myconfig.first.txt myconfig.second.txt
2c2
< configdate='Sat Mar 10 09:40:26 2007'
---
> configdate='Sat Mar 10 10:05:47 2007'
12c12
< ld='c++', ldflags=' -L/usr/local/lib -L/Users/jimk/work/fresh/
blib/lib -flat_namespace ',
---
> ld='/usr/bin/g++-3.3', ldflags=' -L/usr/local/lib -L/Users/
jimk/work/fresh/blib/lib -flat_namespace ',
14c14
< libs=' -lm'
---
> libs='-lm'
I then re-ran 'make'. 'make' succeeded. All of the above -- problem
and (hack) solution -- is consistent with all my results over the
last two months since I originally reported the problem.
I should note that I can do a "straight-out-of-the-HEAD-box"
compilation on Linux with no additional configuration options,
hacking, etc.
HTH!
