  Those are harmless warnings, don't worry about them.

  You're missing -DPREFIX in the AFLAGS (symbols in OS X must the  
prefixed with '_', same as for win32). I'm attaching a patch for  
configure.in, maybe someone should check that in.
  The static library works fine, the shared library won't build though:
'ld: bitstream/x86_asm/cbp_mmx.o has local relocation entries in non- 
writable section (__TEXT,__text)'
This usually means that something isn't PIC-safe enough for OS X, but  
I haven't looked into it.
