On Leopard, this builds without problem. On Tiger, you will have to 
somehow add the -single_module flag to that linker line (this is on by 
default on Leopard).

Either edit the file 
Libraries/3rd/7-Zip/CPP/7zip/Compress/LZMA/CMakeFiles/MiKTeX207-lzma.dir/link.txt 
and rerun make or set the LDFLAGS environment variable or the 
CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS cmake variable correspondingly.
