Asher,

Nope, that problem requires a patch to the sources.  Did you see the  
patch I posted?  Right now you cannot build for MacOS X Intel without  
applying the patches.  I think  some of the smaller changes that I  
included in my patch have been applied to SVN but you still need the  
rest of them.  (Just say "no" if patch detects that the patch has  
already been applied.")

See this thread in the mailing list archive.
