You ask for details so here they are.

I don't use MacPorts or any other non-standard build environment, I  
don't suffer compiler bugs so I don't need  'CCFLAGS="-O0" to correct  
a buggy compiler and I have applied every patch and bug-fix released  
and experience no build issues with any other software source.


Here's what I start with:

Using gcc-3.3 (it's old but it compiles for ppc)
cd /private/var/tmp/clamav/clamav-1.obj && CFLAGS="-arch ppc -g -Os - 
pipe -pipe -no-cpp-precomp -arch ppc" CCFLAGS="-arch ppc -g -Os -pipe  
" CXXFLAGS="-arch ppc -g -Os -pipe " LDFLAGS="-arch ppc            "   
TEXI2HTML="/usr/bin/texi2html -subdir ." rm -rf /tmp/clamav/Release  
&& mkdir -p /tmp/clamav/Debug && ln -sf /CLAMAV_BUILD/Release /tmp/ 
clamav/Release && CFLAGS="-DFD_SETSIZE=2048" ./configure --prefix="/ 
usr" --mandir=/usr/share/man --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-bigstack -- 
with-user=clamav --with-group=clamav --with-dbdir=/var/clamav -- 
disable-clamav

make
make install # no issues with the build or install but nothing seems  
to works and segfaults (expected behavior)

Using gcc-3.3
cd /private/var/tmp/clamav/clamav-1.obj && CFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch  
i386 -g -Os -pipe -pipe -no-cpp-precomp -arch ppc -arch i386"  
CCFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch i386 -g -Os -pipe " CXXFLAGS="-arch ppc - 
arch i386 -g -Os -pipe " LDFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch i386            "   
TEXI2HTML="/usr/bin/texi2html -subdir ." rm -rf /tmp/clamav/Release  
&& mkdir -p /tmp/clamav/Debug && ln -sf /CLAMAV_BUILD/Release /tmp/ 
clamav/Release && CFLAGS="-DFD_SETSIZE=2048" ./configure --prefix="/ 
usr" --mandir=/usr/share/man --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-bigstack -- 
with-user=clamav --with-group=clamav --with-dbdir=/var/clamav -- 
disable-clamav

make

fails with:
  ld: Undefined symbols:
_lt_libltdlc_LTX_preloaded_symbols
/usr/bin/libtool: internal link edit command failed



Using gcc-3.5 (it's old but it compiles for ppc)
cd /private/var/tmp/clamav/clamav-1.obj && CFLAGS="-arch ppc -g -Os -
