[issue4834] Trouble configuring with icc on Mac OS X 10.5

Skip: could you please explain which bit of Xcode you didn't install? 
The compile should work regardless of installing 10.3 SDK support.

The code you mention in your report sets MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET to 
10.3 on 10.3 systems or later, unless you explictly set it to another 
version yourself. This matches the default compiler settings on at least 
10.4 systems. I just noticed that the default on 10.5 systems to compile 
for the current OS release.

The intention of the code is to allow the resulting binaries to run on 
as many platforms as possible.

Note that you can easily work around this issue by explicitly setting 
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET to 10.5.
