You're linking with the wrong libraries. 2.253 has a new function in
runtime.c (C_emit_trace_info2) which apparently is not found.
Does your installed verison have this symbol? (nm it)

But as you already mention, this is due to the funny static linking
behaviour on the mac. I guess we should disable the -static binaries
on OS X, then.

Brandon: could I just conditionalize the sections in static/CMakeLists.txt
that build/install ...-static? Would that be sufficient, or is there something
else I have to take care of?


cheers,
