I took care of that issue already, then there's:
http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=9958

/usr/libexec/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/ld: multiple definitions of 
symbol _abort
/usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/../../../libpthread.dylib(abort.So)
definition of _abort
../../lib/libLLVMSupport.a(Signals.cpp.o) definition of _abort in section
(__TEXT,__text)
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [bin/tblgen] Error 1

I don't see this issue on 3.0 or trunk, but the linker does issue 
repeated warnings in all of my build logs with 3.0 and trunk:

/usr/libexec/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/ld: warning suggest use of 
-bind_at_load, as lazy binding may result in errors or different symbols being used
symbol _abort used from dynamic library 
../../lib/libLLVMSupport.dylib(Signals.cpp.o) not from earlier dynamic library 
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib(abort.So)
symbol _raise used from dynamic library 
../../lib/libLLVMSupport.dylib(Signals.cpp.o) not from earlier dynamic library 
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib(raise.So)

I haven't tried to add the -bind_at_load flag to the executable linker 
flags yet, not even sure if that would be correct.
