Also, if I understand Bill's posts on xcode-dev correctly, mixed- mode code won't run on Tiger because the compiler will generate calls to functions that don't exist there.

That is correct.

Presumably that means that a dual-mode framework will need a separate Tiger version (assuming Tiger compatibility is a requirement, which it commonly will be at the moment).

Also correct.

Having worked on a little bit of dual mode code, I can say unequivocally that I would either choose to target my App / Framework to Leopard / GC Only or I would chose to go non-GC for Tiger compatibility.

Supporting dual mode is a pain.

(Personally and keeping in mind that I'm a somewhat atypical developer, I would choose Leopard / GC Only.)
