There's only one I know of, but it's pretty darn significant - SDL (http://www.libsdl.org/) (Simple DirectMedia Layer). This means all applications and games based on it (version 1.2.x or earlier) do NOT work on Snow Leopard - the library doesn't even compile on Snow Leopard either. The 1.3 version of SDL, which is in development, should fix this incompatibility problem, but I don't know when that will be released.

That's disturbing. I use SDL for rapid prototyping and testing ideas. 1.3 probably won't be out anytime soon, and SDL 1.3 has been in development for a while. :( I guess you could pull 1.3 code from SVN, but it's not too stable.

This is a tool rather than a library: valgrind.
