Build fails on OS X from __attribute__ section usage

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try to build on OS X
2. Build fails

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Build error:
error: argument to 'section' attribute is not valid for
      this target: mach-o section specifier requires a segment and section separated by a comma

which I trace back to
  # define RLOG_SECTION __attribute__ (( section("RLOG_DATA") ))

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
OS X 10.7, clang 3.0. GCC 4.7 also gave a build error, but in the assembler 
phase.


Please provide any additional information below.
Changing this to:
  # define RLOG_SECTION __attribute__ (( section(".rlogseg,RLOG_DATA") ))

Gets it to build

The SVN trunk should detect this automatically (revision r21).  Looks like that 
change never made it into a release.

Macports also has a fix applied.
