So far I haven't received any feedback on the test case I submitted...

I have done the following in the meantime:
- manually applied Allan Hsu's patch to allow compiling on Intel OS X  
w/ Xcode 2.4 (compiled, but test still failed)
- manually applied your symbols.h etc. patch - compiled, but test  
still fails!

(didn't find a way to apply the patch automagically; svn diff only  
creates one and svn help wasn't helpful)

I re-ran autogen.sh, then make, then make install; I removed the  
Mono.framework reference in the Xcode project and replaced it with a  
reference to libmono.dylib in the new Mono. The plugin was cleanly  
compiled for each Mono. And I tried a second time using make clean,  
make, make install.

So all in all until now the patches and suggestions have helped build  
Mono at all on Intel, improve the quality of embedding Mono on OS X  
by eliminating the _environ error and the duplicate symbols warnings  
- but unfortunately my plugin's mono_thread_attach assertion failure  
persists.

Your symbols.h patch did appear to rename the functions via #defines,  
no? [what did your remark above about starting to rename mean then?]  
It should no longer be a name clash now, or could it still be? If my  
test case for some reason does work on your system then I'd really  
like to hear about it! Maybe I missed something.
