Without the *FLAGS, you just get a single-arch build, most likely x86_64 on OSX 10.6.  And most builds default to using the debug flag, so I always set CFLAGS to -Os.

The deployment target is just something I do and is not critical.

Well, make IS the compile.  Or do you mean the configure works?

Maybe --disable-nls isn't all that's needed - what I actually did was configure for my custom gettext, and assumed that disabling it would work.  I suppose since you have Macports you could try using that - instead of --disable-nls, try:

--with-gettext=/opt/local

It should find it from the system, no need for macports.  Though it's possible Macports is confusing the configuration.  Generally, I don't think Macports is automatically checked, it depends on the software.  Straight Gnu configure won't, but some software checks for it.
