OK. I finally got this work!! It seems that the macro WORDS_BIGENDIAN is not being defined in Mac OS X with G5 processor, although it should. So, I manually defined it for the two files that it occurs in plugins/input/shape/shapefile.hpp and src/wkb.cpp and I can get the maps to work now.
Will try to figure out how to make sure the macro is defined in this case. Until then, will keep the hack on my copy. Thanks a bunch to all of you who responded and helped in narrowing down the problem.
