dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: lazy pointer not found
dyld: lazy pointer not found
Trace/BPT trap

After searching for a little bit, the fix for this is simple: just remove the -s flag from the ALLFLAGS=${OPTFLAGS} line in makefile.machine. Recompile the code, install it, and it works fine. According to the gcc man page, the -s removes “all symbol table and relocation information from the executable”. This is probably just a problem with the compiler on OSX Tiger.

make
sudo make install
