locbfd should be the default on macosx, as we have Aurelien's specific
mods for .o file loading.  Extending this default to the intel should
resolve the -lintl 'out of the box'.  This said, I'd be quite
(pleasantly) surprised if Aurelien's code works as is on intel.  This
should be tried first -- if you can compile and load a simple file,
all is well.  Otherwise, the brain-dead default entry-level loading
option is --disable-statsysbfd --enable-dlopen.  This is limited in
that compiler::link instead of save-system must be used to save
images, and that no more than 1024 loads are supported on most
machines (as each requires an open file descriptor).

BTW, out of town till Sunday.

Take care,
