> the same problem occurs when compiling ethereal on a Mac OS X system.

(Did somebody do GTK+ for Quartz, or is this compiling it to use X, or
is this just compiling Tethereal?)

That's unfortunate - are they doing something weird with shared
libraries?  (E.g., are they using something other than the BSD run-time
linker - does MacOS X use ELF or MACH-O for its object files?)  On a
*real* BSD system, it Just Works; those errors look somewhat
shareable-object-related (it appears to be trying to jam the Gryphon and
MGCP plugins into a single image file - has it decided that run-time
linking isn't supported, causing some piece of libtool hell to try to
link the plugins into the main binary and pretend to dynamically link
them?).
