gcc and ld on OSX don't seem to support the -R option, breaking 
runtime_library_dirs and any distutils installed extensions that require 
it.

I've only checked Python 2.2.2 so far.

Could you elaborate a bit on what breaks, and/or give an example that breaks?

Looks like this has been fixed in 2.3a2:
       if sys.platform[:6] == "darwin":
            # MacOSX's linker doesn't understand the -R flag at all
            return "-L" + dir
        elif compiler[:3] == "gcc" or compiler[:3] == "g++":
            return "-Wl,-R" + dir
        else:
            return "-R" + dir

I can't find a bug report or patch on this fix, and I don't know if it is in any 
2.2.x branch.

It looks like backporting the rev. 1.48 fix to Lib/distutils/unixccompiler.py should do the trick. I've attached the patch that should do the trick, if you could try this that would be helpful.

Yup - that looks like all that is needed to be done.

Ok, I'll fix if there's a 2.2.3 release upcoming. Thanks for the report!
