   Alas, I didn't get far.  (See attached.)

   It appears that <gcc> on OS X expects <i386>, <ppc> or <ppc64> as the
   value of <-arch>.

Maybe GCC isn't set up to build x86-64 code on 10.5?  That would be
weird, since Apple machines have had x86-64 processors inside them
since about a month after I got my MacBook, which was several years
ago.

   But that doesn't seem to be what this error is
   complaining about.

Argh.  Edit etc/make-liarc.sh to wrap the backticked arguments to
configure in double-quotes:

run_configure "--prefix=`pwd`/boot-root" ...

There may be other lurking space-sensitive `pathname' arguments among
the scripts -- you could also try renaming the directory from `MIT
Scheme' to `mit-scheme' or something without any spaces in it.
