+--------------------
+Building on Mac OS X
+--------------------
+It's necessary to have a fat binary library for fakeroot to work
+properly for all executables on Mac OS X.  (It's also pointless to
+build the static library version for Mac OS X because of the way
+fakeroot works on Mac OS X.)
+
+-------------
+Mac OS X 10.4
+-------------
+You'll need the GNU autotools to run bootstrap.  They can be installed
+via macports with "sudo port install libtool automake autoconf".
+Be sure to add the appropriate directory (/opt/local/bin for macports)
+to your path before running bootstrap.
+
+If building on 10.4 that means something like this:
+
+  ./bootstrap # GNU autotools required
+  SDKROOT='-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk' \
+  CFLAGS="-pipe -O2 -arch x86_64 -arch ppc64 -arch i386 -arch ppc $SDKROOT" \
+  ./configure --disable-dependency-tracking --disable-static
+  make && make check && sudo make install
+
+Note the use of -isysroot.  The -isysroot option is only required
+when building on Mac OS X 10.4 because the system libraries are not
+guaranteed to be fat whereas they are on Mac OS X 10.5 and later.
+
+-------------
+Mac OS X 10.5
+-------------
+You'll need newer GNU autotools than come with 10.5.  They can be
+installed via macports with "sudo port install libtool automake
+autoconf".  Be sure to add the appropriate directory (/opt/local/bin
+for macports) to the FRONT of your path before running bootstrap.
+
+If building on 10.5 that means something like this:
+
+  ./bootstrap # Mac OS X 10.5 autotools are too old
+  CFLAGS='-pipe -O2 -arch x86_64 -arch ppc64 -arch i386 -arch ppc' \
+  LDFLAGS='-Wl,-force_cpusubtype_ALL' \
+  ./configure --disable-dependency-tracking --disable-static
+  make && make check && sudo make install
+
+-----------------------
+Mac OS X 10.6 and later
+-----------------------
+If building on 10.6 or later that means something like this:
+
+  ./bootstrap # Mac OS X 10.6 autotools are new enough
+  CFLAGS='-pipe -O2 -arch x86_64 -arch i386 -arch ppc -Wno-deprecated-declarations' \
+  LDFLAGS='-Wl,-force_cpusubtype_ALL' \
+  ./configure --disable-dependency-tracking --disable-static
+  make && make check && sudo make install
+
+The stat64 and friends functions may be deprecated as of 10.6, but
+they still need to be interecepted and we don't need to see the
+warnings about them hence the use of -Wno-deprecated-declarations.
+
+------------------------------
+Cross OS Version Compatibility
+------------------------------
+Building the 10.4 version and running it on 10.5 or 10.6 is not
+recommended because the new system calls added in 10.5 and 10.6
+will NOT be intercepted by the version built for 10.4.
+
+Similarly building the 10.5 version and running it on 10.6 is not
+recommended either because 10.6 added yet more calls that will NOT
+be intercepted by the version build for 10.5.
