When you install XCode you are given the option to install other SDKs  
and you can then select to install the 10.4 SDK.

But this is really just for backward compatibility.  If you will not  
be running on Mac OS X 10.4 then remove the "-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/ 
MacOSX10.4u.sdk" from ~~bin/gambc-cc.bat (i.e. /Library/Gambit-C/ 
v4.5.2/bin/gambc-cc.bat).  I'm not sure if changing the 4 to a 5 or 6  
will also work.  Another option is to recompile Gambit from the sources.
