-fPIC is on by default on Mac OS X, so that's easy. Having 64-bit

have large integers in Pd, like timestamps.
The 64 bit buzzword refers to memory addressing; double precision
floats are different than 64 bit CPUs or applications. FPUs have
used 64 bit floats for years regardless of their addressing
capabilities.
So does that mean it would be possible to make Pd use 64-bit floats
on all CPUs without a major performance hit?
