You may or may not have noticed that there are no 64-bit native
targets for darwin.
I just looked at
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26854
again, where I use a 64-bit version of 4.1.0 on powerpc-apple-
darwin8.5.0. So it is (was?) possible to build a 64-bit version of
4.1.0 on (at least one version of) darwin.
I would consider not being able to do so for 4.2 a regression.
I'm surprised it worked at all, and the way you did so is obviously
not the same way we would for any other 64-bit host in gcc - so why
would you expect that to work?
FWIW I think a 64-bit native version might be nice as a separate
target, but I've been told there's no real advantage there either on
ppc.
