[Coldstuff] Running Cold under MacOS X

[Peter Bengtson]

Thanks, Jon, your comments helped: config.guess and config.sub were
needed for the configure script to identify the system properly, and it
was necessary to add the -traditional-cpp cc flag. Everything compiles
nicely. However the make still terminates with:

> /usr/bin/ld: multiple definitions of symbol _task_info
> execute.o definition of _task_info in section (__TEXT,__text)
> /usr/lib/libm.dylib(taskUser.o) definition of _task_info

> make[1]: *** [coldcc] Error 1
> make: *** [install] Error 2

Any ideas what to do?
