Comment:
There seems to already be support for the `x86_64-apple-darwin` target in
configure.ac; running configure like so:
{{{./configure --build=x86_64-apple-darwin}}}
results in x86_64_HOST_ARCH being defined throughout.
The Stage1 compiler seems to mostly build after this; the first failure is
in Adjustor.c because as Manuel said the runtime system isn't designed to
handle 64bit OS X yet - the code path indeed needs to be split.
I'm taking over this ticket because I'm interested in getting it working;
64bit support is already there and it would be nice to have on OS X.
