Thanks Joseph,

I say this isn't worth pursuing until someone else reports the issue, as I
couldn't replicate it with a "clean" system.

I had the old 10.6 SDK in /Developer/SDKs, it could have been ‘special’ in

I suspect your 10.6 SDK was cnfigured oddly, or ????

For the sake of explanation though lets say it wasn’t, what then?

this is the odd part -- shouldn't the new sysroot (i.e. the SDK) have all
the includes and libs  needed?

Not sure why that is, or what would make the virtual environment different,

yeah, me neither ....

Anyway, unless someone else sees this, I think we're done.
