Many apologies and much embarrassment, but I read the "About Xcode Tools"
document too fast. The 10.3.9 minimum requirement is ONLY for C++ and
Objective-C++ applications. According to the document, plain Objective-C
apps built with gcc 4.0 will run all the way back to Mac OS X 10.3.0 -- but
not on 10.2 Jaguar, which was the original issue.
