There was a thread about the first of those on the mailing list just a
few days ago. Something has obviously changed in the latest release of
Darwin. I have to decide whether to change the default or try to be
clever and notice the different versions. As I have no access to any
releases of OSX, I can't do any testing of my own.

I'm surprised. The only test in the source that uses __GLIBC__ is
#if (!defined __GLIBC__) || (__GLIBC__ < 2)
and I would have thought that on all modern systems it would be defined.
Even glibc 2 is quite old now.
