Stephen, it is the case, then that you only see this with the macports 
libraries?

Are your macports libraries multiarchitecture (even if just 32/64 bit on 
the Intel OR PPC)?  I have no idea whether this could affect the 
outcome, but all of my macports libraries support only ppc not ppc64, 
i386, or x86_64.  All of the libraries that Jeremy provides support four 
architectures.

Also, in some cases, Jeremy has issued revised updates because his 
development space was out of sink with the builds he made.  Perhaps some 
of the modules in the libraries are making it into the binaries he makes 
available but are not in the sources being used to build the MP files.

IIRC, there were some headers that were off version in at least one of 
the revisions.  Not enough to cause this kind of differentiation but 
perhaps emblematic of a cause.
