Thanks, I'll pass that onto the user who reported this problem to me.
However, does anyone know why the deployment target is hardcoded to
10.3 in Pyrex/Mac/DarwinSystem.pc?

def c_link_list(obj_files, verbose_flag = 0, cplus = 0):
    #  Link the given object files into a dynamically
    #  loadable extension file. Returns the pathname
    #  of the resulting file.
    os.environ["MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET"] = "10.3"
    out_file = replace_suffix(obj_files[0], ".so")
    linker = linkers[bool(cplus)]
    args = [linker] + linker_options + obj_files + ["-o", out_file]
    if verbose_flag or verbose:
        print " ".join(args)
    status = os.spawnvp(os.P_WAIT, linker, args)
    if status <> 0:
        raise CCompilerError("Linker returned status %s" % status)
    return out_file

The reason I'm asking is that I maintain the Pyrex MacPort and a
ticket has been filed that seems to be related to this. Would I break
anything if I simply removed the

os.environ["MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = "10.3"

line from the the above method, as MacPorts sets this environment
variable itselfs.

Cheers
