It's impossible to know because you haven't shown your program. It might be a bug in the library, I don't think i386-darwin is a very well tested configuration, or it could be something you've done wrong. Please try to reproduce the error with a minimal example to show whether you get that error just from including a header, or only under certain circumstances.
