The link error is because the Mac needs to link to Q3Support which was 
removed by r6664.

The compile error is due to something in the new file 
qgsdistancearea.sip. I am using sip 4.5.2 and PyQt 4.1.1.

(I normally don't build with Python bindings enabled because the full 
set of binding files is recompiled every time a single cpp file is 
changed. This takes too long so Mac compatibility isn't continuously 
verified -- at least not by me.)
