Stuart,

I have applied the -m64 part of the patch. Thanks!

I am still trying to figure the right magic to disable -ppc64 when
using 10.6 SDK. Am I right that ppc64 is not supported with 10.6
regardless of whether you are building a fat library, or not? In other

        address-model=64 architecture=power

have any chance of working?
