While if it matters only for ppc64, then rebuilding on 10.5.8 is > enough. The problem is triggered by deciding to force a constant to memory, in principle that could happen for ppc32 as well [e.g. for a double constant] (so far, we have not seen an example). Since we build the compiler 'mdynamic-no-pic' for performance, it is not going to show up there [since SYMBOL_REF is a valid address in that case]. Once the patch is tested, posted and applied to master, then we will surely back port to the effected branches.
