Well, it should, at least the kernel runs 64-bit applications and gcc
produces 64-bit code.  I had no idea that fink is not supposed to
support such.

Beside, the 64-bit fink announcement precedes quite substantially the
aparition of 10.6.  As a matter of fact the official announcement
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.os.macosx.fink.devel/17705> is older
than 10.6 and does mention 10.5 explicitly.

In any event, most things appear to compile fine, though I am only
(and roughly) in the middle of the process of restoring my fink
environment.  As for Firefox, I am going to try and see is there is a
simple fix to the error, but first I need to find out how can I resume
the build process without the unpacking phase (à la Gentoo's "ebuild
<package> compile install qmerge" which re-uses the build directory so
that it takes into consideration source modifications--if anybody
cares to summarize the way of doing it it will be much appreciated).
I am willing of course to test any fix that might come my way.

Cheers,
Stefan
