Here's a link on how to compile 64bit using gcc on OSX:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Conceptual/64bitPorting/building/building.html

It looks like all you have to do is add "-arch x86_64" to your compile  
flags.

This is all theoretical to me though... we build 64bit executables  
here... but we do it with the Intel compiler (which defaults to 64bit).
