I have hacked substantially on dependencyFlags in
ARK/arkbase/ark/thing.py to make this change fairly
painless.  There are many matching changes in the Sidai
package files (and perhaps elsewhere).  It's all checked in
to CVS.

The thing is that your <team>/host/ALL.xml now needs to
specify

  <COMPILING-STYLE>gcc</COMPILING-STYLE>

In *theory*, if you changed that to

  <COMPILING-STYLE>apple-osx-with-fuzzy-linking</COMPILING-STYLE>

(or whatever), then made suitable tweaks to dependencyFlags
(which is tidier and even slightly documented...), it would
all work.

I've successfully run try-ark with the changes, but I would
not describe the code as "tested".
