I would not expect bootchecking in a grade _without_ garbage collection. Try the grade
hlc.gc instead. (The "nogc" grades, such as hlc, are not useful in practice -- they are only useful
to developers measuring the impact of garbage collection.)

I guess I'm just out of my depth. Anyway, here is the result of:

  $ ./tools/bootcheck -t- -G hlc.gc

The complaint about namespaces not being clean is normal on Mac OS X.
It occurs because symbols on that OS are given a "_" prefix by default,
and the namespace check doesn't take that into account. You can ignore
that message (or disable the test by invoking the bootcheck script with
the --no-check-namspace option.)

There wasn't really a bug here per se. In any case, I no longer have access to a powerpc machine running tiger, to check this any further.
