How would a quad-architecture build work with other C/C++ modules?
I haven't tested other modules yet; I'm still building quad- architecture GCC 4.2.4 with AT&T and Apple patches. Got that MacPorted yesterday after two weeks' work... now we have a gfortran that plays nice with Apple-patched GCC, I think.
Having a 64-bit itself would be nice, but that would require all Python modules also be compiled in 64-bit, such as Qt, Subversion, anything that is a C/C++ package on its own that has a Python module. So I think the ramifications of going to a pure 64-bit Python would be large and would have to be decided by MacPorts group as a whole if we want to move in that direction.
Yes, I am hoping to build up our local NRAO/CASA package toolchain quad-architecture. I don't know how far I can get. I already have an Intel 32/64-bit Qt; that's TrollTech's Cocoa version (expected to release as Qt 4.5). I would need to build all of SciPy quad-arch to make this fly...
