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.

I did, too.
$uname -a
Darwin Computer.local 8.9.1 Darwin Kernel Version 8.9.1: Thu Feb 22 20:55:00 PST 2007; root:xnu-792.18.15~1/RELEASE_I386 i386 i386

$set | grep -i type
HOSTTYPE=powerpc
MACHTYPE=powerpc-apple-darwin8.0
OSTYPE=darwin8.0

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.

Just noticed that myself. Very bizarre on Apple's part. Hopefully they'll fix that one of these days.
