What linker are you using?  I'm just using Apple's stock gcc and the
system's ld on MacOS X 10.4.  Assuming I pass --disable-visibility to
configure, libxfce4util compiles fine for me.

It appears to work as well if I use gcc 4.1 and odld from DarwinPorts
(guess they're called 'MacPorts' now).  I don't see GNU ld in
DarwinPorts anywhere... binutils doesn't install it.

Also, I don't think the version of libiconv included with the OS will
work properly, but I'm not sure where I read that (or even if I'm
remembering correctly).  I'm using libiconv and libintl from
DarwinPorts.  I imagine the fink equivalents would also work here (or
compiling them by hand, but who wants to do that? ^_~).

Anyway, as I mentioned earlier, libxfcegui4 won't compile without
libX11, so gtk compiled with the gdk-quartz backend isn't going to work
for Xfce.
