Good you asked, as I've just been working on this too. 

Here is what is working for me with no discernible problems thus far:

Set the following environment:  (needs to be cleaned up and done in
configure IMHO):

export PATH=/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH # I don't think these are 
actually
export LIBRARY_PATH=/sw/lib
export C_INCLUDE_PATH=/sw/include
export CPPFLAGS="-no-cpp-precomp"

Get 2.6.8pre:

export CVSROOT=:pserver:address@hidden:/sources/gcl
cvs -z9 -q co -d gcl-2.6.8pre -r Version_2_6_8pre gcl

In this directory, ./configure && make.

Please let me know if problems persist.

2.6.8pre has Aurelien's great macosx binutils support updated for the
latest binutils library.  I need to bug upstream binutils to see if
they could include this there as well.

Take care,
