Maybe this is because Leopard's Ruby builds its extensions universal
(for both i386 and ppc architectures), and that
"/usr/local/lib/libantlr3c.a" isn't universal.

You can verify this using:

$ file /usr/local/lib/libantlr3c.a

If the library is only compiled for your arch, the solution is to
appropriately set the ARCHFLAGS environment variable.

The following page has some information regarding ARCHFLAGS:
