Unfortunately I can't. That raises a nice question: why is this page locked? VLC
building tends to change with each Xcode release so...

In fact they don't ;)

That's the famous ld bug. Either re-run bootstrap from extras/contrib and fully
rebuild ffmpeg (rm -Rf ffmpeg .ffmpeg && make .ffmpeg) so that the Xcode 3.0's
ld bug can be detected, or upgrade to Xcode 3.1 (iPhone SDK).
