You shouldn't have to mess with template/darwin. Back post 7.4.2 I went
through a number of iterations with the developers on this and it was
working out of the box. They were in the process of rewriting the threads
detection and configuration to be more clean and reliable.

I just tried it from the CVS source and it worked fine, even after a 'make
clean'. However, when I download 7.4.3 and try it, I get the same error as
you. The darwin template is identical between the two. I would have
thought all those code changes would have been incorporated in 7.4.3.

I think this requires some more investigation. Mac OS X 10.3.x should be
working off the bat.
