What had changed when it stopped working?

This suggests that you are using a linker that is too old. Are you  
certain that the used i386-darwin-ld is the one you built from  
cctools-809? (compile with -Cn and look at the generated ppas.sh)

That has no influence anyway. Objects are not really built against an  
SDK, only libraries and applications are. The SDK only affects the  
linking in case of Pascal (in case of C/C++, it also affects the  
compilation because of the used headers).
