Summary: Fix compile/link when using Darwin 8

Initial Comment:
(this is the 2.4-maint backport of 1171735)

Darwin 8's headers are anal about POSIX compliance, and linking 
has changed (prebinding is now deprecated, and libcc_dynamic no 
longer exists). This configure patch makes things right.

I'm fine with this patch applying to 8.0 (or whatever it is
going to be called); my concern is that it is unclear
(atleast to me) whether the problem will still exist in,
say, 8.5.

I would prefer to not talk about versions that have not been released 
publicly yet too (it has been in development for quite some time), but it's 
going to be released with this bug, and we want Python to compile on this 
platform.

I need to make some updates to these patches, and will improve the 
comment at that time.

In the comment as to why this disables platform specific
features beyond repair, please list specific examples (e.g.
the first one that is encountered); please also put your
name as the one to ask for further details into this comment.

Also, I would prefer this not to talk about versions whose
development has not started yet (ie. 8.*), unless there is
some really strong indication that none of the 8.* releases
will provide a solution.

... patch small enough to upload, using same autoconf version as what 
was used by CVS
