This probably won't help you, but there has been noise on two other  
mailing lists I monitor (CMake being one) that suggest people are  
having similar problems.  It seems that Snow Leopard (and the new GCC  
compiler bundled with it) defaults to 64 bit treatment or something.

If you make any headway, I am sure that many of us would benefit from  
what you learn.  As for me, I am holding off updating (I have the new  
software on my desk) because of these issues...
