Configure has no problem with GIF and JPEG, but build fails with:

Dumping succeeded before, of course, here and also with GCC 5 and 6. The recent version of GCC 4.8 is 4.8.5. Historically it could have been the same version (release date: June 23, 2015), but I have no proof.

One more difference is that MacPorts has changed. The reason is different C++ ABIs and inability to pass things between different versions (not my field of interest). On my Snow Leopard system I have to use a special one (don't know the details), switch happened in summer.

Original Mac OS X 10.6.8 supports Clang 3.0 and GCC 4.2.
