[erlang-bugs] Mac OSX Snow Leopard - configure sets arch to be i386 when running 64bit kernel

[Jared Morrow]

Erlang can be built for 32bit or 64bit on a 64bit OSX machine.   It defaults
to 32bit as you found.   Simply pass '--enable-darwin-64bit' to the
'./configure' line and that will build it for 64bit.   This is similar for
all other BSD's and Solaris/OpenSolaris OS's I've tried, you must force the
64bit build.
