There are also a couple symlinks in the SDL frameworks distributed in the OS X DF package, which DF needs to start.
Thanks for raising this. For now I don't think there's much to do beyond noting in the documentation (forthcoming, eventually) that *nix packs cannot be built from Windows.
From here
From here, it sounds like extracting the archives on Windows and re-packaging them would break symlinks upon extraction, even on OS X and Linux, which would break things that depend on those symlinks (Stonesense) completely.
As I mentioned in that thread, it would be possible to replace broken allegro symlinks with working ones in the DFHack launcher script. However, since I don't think there's a way to tell which files are broken symlinks and which are just normal files, it's not a great solution in terms of maintainability (if we add more symlinks, etc.).
