I disagree slightly here.  The user reported the problem to
bug-lilypond.  That is the first step.

The second step is that a bug squad member should add this to our
tracker as type-Critical regression.  Somebody suggested a
possible cause of the problem; that information should also be
added.

In the following discussion, AFTER the bug has been added to the
tracker, we may decide to drop support for osx 10.4.  If we make
that decision, the osx download page will be modified to reflect
it.  But until/unless we decide that, this is purely a Critical
regression in the build system.
