OS X 10.5 compile issue. about rlog HOT 8 CLOSED

I've added a check for gcc section attribute support in the configure script.  
It has
been checked into SVN.  I've also attached a patch - if you apply it, you'll 
need to
run 'autoreconf' to regenerate configure, then run configure and build.

Let me know if this fixes the problem.  Thanks.

Hey!

It worked. Thanks.

Also on the side note, configuration script does not seem to check for doxygen 
(SVN).
After installing it, everything compiled.

This smaller diff also solves building on MacOS problems...

macports applies a small patch which modifies the RLOG_SECTION macro: So the 
macports build which 
grahamperrin performed is a confirmation that a problem exists.

This is fixed in SVN, will be in next release.
