Toby,
   Okay. I mispoke on that issue but it is orthogonal to the solution.
On Darwin10, under the 32-bit kernel (which is the default), both
uname -p and uname -m reports i386 so a patch is necessary to return
coherency between the detected host and the actual target code
generated by the system compiler.
