According to your log the linker used by xcodebuild does not understand the -no_pie flag. This is strange because xcodebuild uses the compiler toolchain in /Developer/usr/ and the linker at /Developer/usr/bin/ld in 10.6 should understand this flag. Could you please try to find out which exact version of ld is being used by xcodebuild on your machine?

Is this what you're after?

$ which ld
/opt/local/bin/ld
$ ld -v
@(#)PROGRAM:ld  PROJECT:ld64-97.2
llvm version 2.8
$ which ld
/opt/local/bin/ld
$ ld -v
@(#)PROGRAM:ld  PROJECT:ld64-97.2
llvm version 2.8
$ port provides /opt/local/bin/ld
/opt/local/bin/ld is provided by: ld64
$ port installed ld64
The following ports are currently installed:
  ld64 @85.2.1_0 (active)
$

The other ld I have is the system version:

$ /usr/bin/ld -v
@(#)PROGRAM:ld  PROJECT:ld64-97.2
llvm version 2.6svn,  Apple Build #2207-05
$

neither like the -no_pie option:

$ /usr/bin/ld -no_pie
ld: unknown option: -no_pie
$ /opt/local/bin/ld -no_pie
ld: unknown option: -no_pie
$

Ah, that's it. A version of ld64 >= 97.6 is required to build ld64 >=97.11. Please update your Xcode from 3.2.2 to 3.2.3. I'll include a "minimum_xcodeversions" check in the Portfile if this solves your problem.

Thanks, updated to Xcode 3.2.4 and it builds now. I really wish Xcode updates where available through Software Update...

They are, that's how I installed at least 3.2.3 and 3.2.4.

I was never prompted with 3.2.3 and 3.2.4.
