[R-SIG-Mac] 64-bit build from source ... 64bit readline oddity solved; libiconv now solved

[Vincent Carey]

i'm aware of the r.research.att.com site -- i am working with what i
believe to be a relatively clean (out of the box
only a couple of weeks, some fink extensions) macosx 10.5.7 with Xcode 3.1.2

i won't deny that it is messed up but are there any ways of stating
minimal conditions
on the state of OSX needed to get a good 64 bit build?  would xcode
3.1.3 make a big difference?
looks like something much earlier is adequate at your place.

thanks
