Xcode4 bad codegen, pointer diff
We recently upgraded to Xcode 4 and we found a lot of our static libraries no longer built due to a change Apple made with symbol visibility settings.
The errors crop up something like this:
ld: bad codegen, pointer diff in b2ContactListener::b2ContactListener()to global weak symbol vtable for b2ContactListener
The fix we found was to modify the build settings for every static library, as well as the App to:
Symbols Hidden By Default = YES
Inline Methods Hidden = NO
Hopefully this helps someone else out with the same problem!

Thanks. I ran into this issue, and a Bing search led me to your post. Invaluable.
