Welcome back.  Glad you made it home safely.  When I saw the "waiting 
for jobs"  I became concerned that buildit might be doing make -j N with 
N>1.  So I cleaned up and did

bootstrap;./configure;make -j 1 

just as a forcing thing and the error messages you see were a result.

Its pretty neat about lastest  Python (2.4.3), wxPython (latest release) 
and Numeric(24-2) along with swig-1.3.29 and latest portaudio causing

./for-all-dirs ../buildit

to "just work" on Darwin.

I am pretty excited for the cross platform development of all sorts of 
things if something as complex as gnuradio will build and run with 
headaches  on Linux and Darwin.  I suspect that MinGW will get us there 
eventually on Windows as well.
