Well, Xcode is Apple's IDE which includes a GUI, C/C++/Objective-C
compilers - and in later OSX versions too if I recall correctly - the
standard header files.

Actually this may be a little simplified as the way I think it works is you
install the Xcode app - which includes the GUI and compilers - and then
from within Xcode->Preferences->Downloads->Components you can "Install
Command Line Tools" which includes the header files.

If that's the case, is there any compile-time constant that I could use

Not that I know of for Xcode.  Here's a list of the defined constants
(unlikely to be exhaustive),

https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/DeveloperTools/Reference/XcodeBuildSettingRef/1-Build_Setting_Reference/build_setting_ref.html

It includes GCC version (GCC_VERSION) and the OS version
 (MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET)  - one of these may help?

Perhaps the system on which the issue was reported had an updated OS but
still had the old library files?

(Big pity Apple aren't shipping the library files by default - they can't
really take up much room on disk…)

Kind regards,

aid
