Right now, it seems that one may not be able to build a 64-bit version of the compiler itself

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.
