Mac OS X 10.3 Developer Preview has the following issue during build of 
eval.c:

gcc -g -O2 -pipe  -I. -I. -c eval.c
eval.c:8217: warning: static declaration for `thread_switch' follows 
non-static
eval.c: In function `thread_switch':
eval.c:8218: error: argument `n' doesn't match prototype

and later:

eval.c:9147: error: `thread_abort' redeclared as different kind of 
symbol
/usr/include/mach/ppc/thread_act.h:143: error: previous declaration of 
`thread_abort'
eval.c:9147: warning: `thread_abort' was declared `extern' and later 
`static'
eval.c: In function `rb_thread_start_0':
eval.c:9326: error: too few arguments to function `thread_switch'
eval.c:9351: error: too few arguments to function `thread_switch'
eval.c: In function `rb_thread_interrupt':
eval.c:9595: error: too few arguments to function `thread_switch'
eval.c: In function `rb_thread_signal_raise':
eval.c:9615: error: too few arguments to function `thread_switch'

(and more instances of this)

Oh...
gcc -v

Looks like eval.c's functions are trying to override 
/user/include/mach/thread* 's functions and losing.
