-lpython2.4 build error (but I think I'm close!)

After installing a couple of libraries needed for the build, I think I'm 
very close to getting my moz/pyxpcom build working. Here is output 
before and reporting the error:

Yes, and the above library usage is completely wrong.  What branch was 
this?  You probably need a patch we use to build on osx.  I'll send it 
to you separately, and Trent can send it out to anyone else who needs it.

Trent, it's MOZILLA_1_8/pyxpcom_build.patch

Applied the patch, but unfortunately still got what seems to be the same 
error:

c++  -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -Wall -Wconversion -Wpointer-arith 
-Wcast-align -Woverloaded-virtual -Wsynth -Wno-ctor-dtor-privacy
