I just tried to compile 7.8.352 on a new core i7 box running OSX 10.6 using 32-bit abi and the build fails because the pike generated crashes somewhere in the machine code generation.
I compiled using the following command line:
make CONFIGUREARGS="--with-abi=32"
The backtrace looks like this:
Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.
Reason: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at address: 0x0000004f

Of course, things work fine using 64 bit ABIs, but I have a need to use some libraries that are 32 bit only, which of course makes everything more complicated. I'm going to assume that it's not something I've done wrong, but please do let me know if my assumption is incorrect :)
Thanks in advance,
Bill
