Comment(by ioerror):

 Replying to [comment:12 mikeperry]:
 > The OSX 10.8 machine I build on was using the 10.6 SDK... I believe we
 deliberately use this because we need 10.6 compatibility. It may be the
 case that we don't want to patch the makefiles for the 10.8 SDK yet for
 this reason.

 I'm not sure that I understand - I thought that we tell the 10.8 SDK that
 we want 10.6 comparability?

 > I do like the idea of creating a directory on archive + a cronjob to
 download all of the source tarballs used to build TBB though. Doing this
 could remove a lot of the complexity of the makefiles in terms of having
 everything so fragile to versioning, and can also give us protection
 against targeted attacks to our (otherwise unauthenticated) dependencies.

 Yeah, I agree.

 Thoughts on how the patch above doesn't apply? Or on how Firefox won't
 build? Am I performing the right rain dance?
