OK, your point is taken. But what does tell 64-bit from 32-bit? And how badly do we need to know for sure? We were talking about what the *default* should be, not about how to determine 64-bit from 32-bit beyond any reasonable doubt (I think). I’d conjecture that the older versions are becoming less and less relevant as the time goes. So *now* we can (and should) safely set the default to x86_64 for Darwin, and those still on 32-bit architecture can run “./Configure whatever”.
