    Still broken as of Oct. 20th, 2006. This is a Mac Pro running 10.4.8.

    $ uname -a
    Darwin delices 8.8.1 Darwin Kernel Version 8.8.1: Mon Sep 25 19:42:00 PDT 2006; root:xnu-792.13.8.obj~1/RELEASE_I386 i386 i386
    $ set | grep -i type
    HOSTTYPE=powerpc
    MACHTYPE=powerpc-apple-darwin8.0
    OSTYPE=darwin8.0

    I'm more annoyed by the i386 kernel, personally.

    On a Mac Pro:
    uname -a
    Darwin computer.local 8.9.2 Darwin Kernel Version 8.9.2: Thu Feb 22 18:08:23 PST 2007; root:xnu-792.19.2~1/RELEASE_I386 i386 i386

    machine
    i486

    set | grep TYPE
    HOSTTYPE=powerpc
    MACHTYPE=powerpc-apple-darwin8.0
    OSTYPE=darwin8.0


    So nowhere is there any mention of x86-64. that really throws a spanner in the works for porting 64b apps.
