It is; there is only one instance in goffice(), gog-radar.c. A quick  
#ifndef __APPLE__ around the static fmin() function did the trick for  
me initially. Maybe someone can think of a better preprocessor check,  
since fmin() in <math.h> is c99 and not actually specific to Apple.

I did not realize the unstable versioning, though. Perhaps it is  
safer to stick with the stable branch, and just add the small goffice  
patch so that Mac users can also enjoy gnumeric via pkgsrc. It is  
fairly simple for the adventurous to build the unstable version by  
hand, if needed.

I will file a PR shortly, with the fmin() patch as attachment.

Cheers!
