Note to anyone reading this in later years: The -flat_namespace option is no longer necessary. It was a compatibility hack introduced around OS 10.4 to make libraries built with 10.4+ tools to still work with pre-10.4 systems. On later systems, it can cause linking problems and should not be used. – Ross Smith Jul 06 '16 at 21:45
