I'm not sure that is the best way around it, though there are examples
of special targets in the Makefile.in for things like urlwrite.oct and
you should be able to do something similar for load-save.o and
pic/load-save.o.

A better solution would be to try and identify the badly compiled
section of code and rewrite it to behave with apple's compilers..
