[erlang-bugs] 64-bit compile fails on Snow Leopard

[Dmitri Sosnik]

I am already booted with x64 kernel and conf.log says:

uname -m = x86_64
uname -r = 10.0.0
uname -s = Darwin
uname -v = Darwin Kernel Version 10.0.0: Fri Jul 31 22:46:25 PDT 2009;  
root:xnu-1456.1.25~1/RELEASE_X86_64

/usr/bin/uname -p = i386
/bin/uname -X     = unknown

/bin/arch              = unknown
/usr/bin/arch -k       = unknown
/usr/convex/getsysinfo = unknown
hostinfo               = Mach kernel version:
      Darwin Kernel Version 10.0.0: Fri Jul 31 22:46:25 PDT 2009;  
root:xnu-1456.1.25~1/RELEASE_X86_64

configure:1358: checking build system type
configure:1376: result: i386-apple-darwin10.0.0
configure:1384: checking host system type
configure:1398: result: i386-apple-darwin10.0.0



Cheers,
