+Mac OS X Snow Leopard Binary ABI problem:
+
+Mac OS X Snow Leopard supports 64-Bit binaries on most Intel Macs
+and builds those by default on such machine. This causes problems
+with a lot of packages which get confused because "MACHINE_ARCH"
+is set to "i386" (on a 64-bit system!). There are also packages
+that don't support 64-bit under Mac OS X at all. It is therefore
+recommended that use the "--abi 32" option of "bootstrap"
+under Mac OS X Snow Leopard at the moment.
