Subject: Weak linking constants

On one project I'm working on I'm trying to retain backward compatibility with Mac OS X 10.2.x, so I've set up a test system running 10.2.8 and I've set up my project to use 10.2 as the deployment target. Unfortunately, when I run the app on the 10.2.8 system, it always crashes when it runs into a constant that is _supposed_ to be weak linked. Simply checking for the availability of the constant using an if statement, as described in <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/ BPFrameworks/Concepts/WeakLinking.html>, is what is causing the crash to occur. If I take out the if statement, it still crashes whenever the symbol is used.

Some details:
1. The target's deployment target is set to 10.2 with no SDK (I want to use a handful of 10.3 symbols if they are present)
2. I've verified in the build log that "setenv MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET 10.2" is appearing before the linker is called
3. I'm using Xcode 1.5 and GCC 3.3 to build the target
4. ZeroLink and F&C are disabled
5. The constant it's tripping on is supposed to be weak linked (it is an Apple framework, and it has "AVAILABLE_MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_3_AND_LATER" appear on its line in the header)

Why is this crashing, and how do I straighten this out?
