No.  It's a problem that's been caused by the combination of the new 
linker, the 10.4 version of ImageIO, the fact that you had already 
built copies of libjpeg et al. on your system and the fact that there 
is a symlink in the SDK.

IMO the symlink in the SDK is a mistake, so the best fix is

  sudo rm /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/local/lib
  sudo mkdir /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/local/lib

That way, your 10.4u SDK really does represent a clean 10.4 system, 
which (I think) is what most people want.  It's certainly what *I* want.

It is.  In order to have this problem, you need to have built copies 
of these libraries yourself (maybe as part of installing some Open 
Source software).

Kind regards,
