I submitted a patch to provide a 64-bit variant of gmp a while ago: ( http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/15002 ) but it is kind of kludgy in that you have to specify the variant manually and that any program/package that uses the 64-bit version must also be compiled with -m64.
This brings up the issue of how 64-bit issues should be handled in general, which has been brought up before, I believe. Is there way to build 'universal' libraries? Can someone give me some background on the 64-bit-related issues with MacPorts? I can't promise a lot of time, but I'd be interested in helping. Also, why is -m64 not the default on Apple's gcc? Of course, I'm guessing it's for backwards-compatibility reasons, but will it eventually be the default? I haven't had a (64-bit) mac until a few months ago so I haven't been keeping tabs on it.
