Problems on Mac OS X 10.3

[Stefan Mandl]

Dear Erlang folk,

I have problems using the erl_interface functions on Panther. With the 
binary version by Sean, the files libei.a or liberl_interface.a contain 
a version of strerror_r, which prevents linking as the function  also 
appears in the system libraries.

I also tried to compile the current source release. After overcomming 
the build problem (thanks for the Makefile patch), I'm sad to report 
that the c-node example from the documentation does not work. When I 
increase the ei_tracelevel, cnode_s.c I get the follwing output:

could it be a problem with the cookie?

Thank you,
