What gives is 1) you're using MacApp 2.0.0 and 2) System 7 and MPW 3.2
and therefore 3) macApp is trying to link with the 3.2 libraries even though
it's not compatible with them (though the Apple guys who are running 2.0.1
think it is).
Change the IF statement in MABuildTool.p on line 1428 to read "if false"
and recompile (under system 6, of course) to get it to use the 3.1 libraries.
