capstone @3.0.4_1 fails building on 10.6.8

[ron.pinz@…]

While installing capstone 3.0.4_1 the following error was encountered:

:info:build ld: unknown option: -soname
:info:build collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
:info:build make: *** [libcapstone.so] Error 1
:info:build make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
:info:build ar: creating archive ./libcapstone.a

A quick look at the Makefile showed that the following excerpt is responsible for determining if compilation is taking place with an Apple version of the Clang compiler distributed with XCode >= 4.4.

IS_APPLE := $(shell $(CC) -dM -E - < /dev/null | grep __apple_build_version__ | wc -l | tr -d " ")
ifeq ($(IS_APPLE),1)
EXT = dylib
VERSION_EXT = $(API_MAJOR).$(EXT)
$(LIBNAME)_LDFLAGS += -dynamiclib -install_name $(PREFIX)/lib/lib$(LIBNAME).$(VERSION_EXT) -current_version $(PKG_MAJOR).$(PKG_MINOR).$(PKG_EXTRA) -compatibility_version $(PKG_MAJOR).$(PKG_MINOR)
AR_EXT = a

Testing the shell command :

$ cc -dM -E - < /dev/null | grep __apple_build_version__ | wc -l | tr -d " "
0

Output of shell command 'fix':

$ cc -dM -E - < /dev/null | grep -e __apple_build_version__ -e __APPLE_CC__ | wc -l | tr -d " "
1

Attached please find the corresponding main.log, and a suggested patch for patch-Makefile.diff. Because the port already utilizes a patch for the Makefile the included patch is a patch for the patch-Makefile.diff.
