Description:
When I run the BUILD/compile-pentium-max script, I get the following errors.
The machine is an Intel Macbook Core 2 Duo.

Making all in storage

How to repeat:
Run the BUILD/compile-pentium-max script on Mac OS X.

Ryan,

Falcon does not support Mac OS X yet. See our documentation:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/falcon/en/falcon-overview.html

"Falcon is currently available only for the 32-bit Windows and 32-bit or 64-bit Linux operating systems. Additional platforms will be added after the alpha release."

Best regards,

Hakan

I pushed a patch which allows to build and run Falcon on Intel/Mac. Please note that Mac on PPC is not supported yet.

A note has been added to the 6.0.1 changelog: 

Falcon would fail to build under Mac OS X/Intel. A preliminary patch is available to allow building under Mac OS X/Intel only (PowerPC support is not yet available). Note that Mac OS X/Intel is still an unsupported platform. (Bug#26466)
