I find it a bit strange that to have the link being correctly done,
you have to use one of the Mac OS SDK. Because it would mean that if
you want to use specific features in 10.3 and you have to be 10.2
compatible, you can't have access to the new API.
There's nothing strange about it, and besides, you can have access to
it. Read the cross-development document about using the
AvailabilityMacros. For libraries that don't support them, you can link
to the entire library weak, or you can dynamically load it.
Dynamic library loading is meant to solve the problem of every
application having its own copy of a common static library, not
necessarily to solve the problem of release-to-release binary
compatibility and API evolution, though those problems can be solved
with using dynamic libraries and weak linking.
