I'm told that the compiler on Snow Leopard generates x86_64

The plan is to add a setting for the default target arch. MacPorts
would
then attempt to always pass a -arch flag to the compiler (or -m32/-
m64
for non-Apple compilers), and individual ports would need to make
sure
that this is picked up by their build system if the default methods
don't suffice. The "sensible default" for this option would appear
to be
x86_64 on Snow Leopard, and i386 or ppc on earlier OS releases
according
to the hardware arch.
Will this option be specifiable in a configuration, so that in the
short
term we can test 64-bit compatibility in Leopard?
I think you can already test this by using the +universal variant and
setting universal_archs to x86_64 in macports.conf.
