Hello Tyson, Yes i am aware of this as some of the apps already run at 64bit mode. What I am saying is that apple decided to turn off 64bit mode on macbooks completely.
So even if i change the boot flags as stated here (http://netkas.org/? p=127) or holding down the keys "6" and "4" during boot, i always get into 32bit mode. What i was thinking was that the automated build process might had a bug into picking the right libraries / paths and so on, as the configure script uses uname to get information about the system... However, as it seems the problem was due to a modified icon. (thanks Nico).
