Doug,

Looking at the top of pnggccrd.c, it says " For Intel x86 CPU
(Pentium-MMX or later) and GNU C compiler."  Try using
scripts/makefile.darwin and see if this resolves the problem.  I can't
believe how bad the build system is for such a widely used library.

Another option is to use libpng (and rrdtool) from fink.  Very nice
people have put together a comprehensive library of tools for OSX
distributed via the fink system.  If you haven't used it, check it
out.  It will probably save you a lot of headaches getting everything
to build on OSX.
