 Pidgin 2.4.1 fails to compile for me on MacOS X 10.5.2 unless I pass
 --disable-perl to the configure script.  I was using Pidgin 2.3.0
 originally compiled fine (months ago), but after a make clean and running
 configure again in 2.3.0, it gets the same compile error.  The error is
 below:

Comment (by rekkanoryo):

 This is because gcc is trying to make universal binaries.  If you pass
 `--host=i686-apple-darwin9` (for an Intel Mac) or `--host=powerpc-apple-
 darwin9` (for a PowerPC Mac) to configure and try again, does that make a
 difference?

 Note: I edited the description so that the error block is easier to read.
