I'm sorry for your inconveniet experience on Mac OS X.
I have to improve the document how to build freetype2
on Mac OS X, especially for universal binary. In the
next official release (2.3.6), FreeType2 will provide
Mac OS X specific document - please let me know your
comment on manuscript

About the failure of configure script... I could
reproduce the error you had. The detail is written
in builds/unix/config.log, like this:

        configure:2494: gcc -O -g -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk 
-arch i386 -arch ppc  -arch i386 -arch ppc conftest.c  >&5
        ld: library not found for -lcrt1.10.5.o
        collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
        ld: library not found for -lcrt1.10.5.o
        collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
        lipo: can't open input file: 
/var/folders/Ve/VeDZ1VtoHruVjKZbml8ZhU+++TI/-Tmp-//cchN09ob.out (No such file 
or directory)
        configure:2497: $? = 1
        configure:2535: result: 
        configure: failed program was:
        | /* confdefs.h.  */
        | #define PACKAGE_NAME "FreeType"
        | #define PACKAGE_TARNAME "freetype"
        | #define PACKAGE_VERSION "2.3.5"
        | #define PACKAGE_STRING "FreeType 2.3.5"
        | #define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT "address@hidden"
        | /* end confdefs.h.  */
        | 
        | int
        | main ()
        | {
        | 
        |   ;
        |   return 0;
        | }
        configure:2542: error: C compiler cannot create executables

Could you find similar in your builds/unix/config.log?
If so, please let me know why "-isysroot ..." is required.
I guess, you're using Mac OS X 10.5, but you may want to
use Mac OS X 10.4.x-capable binary. Using -isysroot option
is popular solution? If CFLAGS has no -isysroot option,
the configuration proceeds more.
