Ok, this is your problem; you are using 32 bit fink libraries but when building 
things yourself from source, gcc always builds 64 bit by default. You could try 
'export CC="gcc -m32"' before building by hand to force it to use 32 bit. Or 
there is a simpler solution...

You are using the stable fink tree and git is only available in unstable. Check 
out http://www.finkproject.org/faq/usage-fink.php?phpLang=en#unstable to turn 
on unstable, and git should be available to install.
