My point was not that you should be using the binary, but rather that  
you must have some issue in your setup since the nightly 64-bit builds  
compile cleanly without any problems.

No, any Xcode 3.x will do. The problem is in your 3rd party stuff  
(apparently readline as you found yourself - and I don't know why you  
had issues with system iconv which works for me...)

That is just cosmetics - you can change that with something like -- 
build=x86_64-apple-darwin`uname -r` but it has no practical effect.
