0004861: OS X Intel dmg for 3.11.1 installs ocaml which doesn't work on OS X 10.6

Notes
(0005080) xleroy (administrator) 2009-09-13 18:57	Could it be that under 10.6 gcc defaults to 64-bit mode, while under 10.5 it defaults to 32-bit mode? We'll have to figure this out. In the meantime, recompilation from sources is advised. Configure either with -cc "gcc -m32" or "gcc -m64" to make sure that you get the mode (32 or 64 bits) that you want.

(0005082) johnwhitington (reporter) 2009-09-14 11:35	Unfortunately, ./configure -cc "gcc -m32" won't compile: gcc -c -DSYS_macosx -o i386.o i386.S \|\| \ { echo "If your assembler produced syntax errors, it is probably unhappy with the"; echo "preprocessor. Check your assembler, or try producing i386.o by hand."; exit 2; } i386.S:95:32-bit absolute addressing is not supported for x86-64 i386.S:95:cannot do signed 4 byte relocation i386.S:97:32-bit absolute addressing is not supported for x86-64 i386.S:97:cannot do signed 4 byte relocation i386.S:100:suffix or operands invalid for `push' -cc "gcc -m64" works fine.

(0005118) xclerc (developer) 2009-09-24 21:20	It seems that -cc "gg -m32" is not enough to build in 32-bit mode, you need to also pass -as "as -arch i386" -aspp "gcc -m32 -c" to the ./configure script. Tested successfully with 3.11.1 on MacOS X 10.6.1 running on top of an Intel Core 2 Duo. On this configuration, a bare ./configure with no argument is enough to build a 64-bit version.
