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).
