Scons works fine on 64-bit systems in general... however, see below.

So far me in all my testing (which is extensive) your cliquer spkg
works fine with Sage on everything except 64-bit OS X, which is the
*only* bi-arch architecture we support for Sage (i.e., one can build
both 32 and 64-bit binaries).  (I'm ignoring Kiran's problem on 64-bit
Fedora 10, since I couldn't replicate it, and it is probably different
anyways.)   Essentially every single spkg that
makes a C library has to explicitly do something if the SAGE64
environment variable is set.   If an spkg involving a C library
doesn't do something in the presence of that variable, the probability
it won't work is high, since then the C library will be built in
32-bit mode, which is the default.   I'm guessing this is what
happened.

What login name do you want on the OS X box, when I make accounts next Monday?
