Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 Building 64-bit on Tiger is problematic in general and I advise you not to
 do it.

 Building 64-bit on PowerPC isn't particularly useful unless you need to
 access more than 4GB of memory from a single program.

 Building glib2 64-bit on PowerPC has already been reported not to work in
 #31221 it's a different error message and there is a patch there; does
 that help this issue as well? I don't have a G5 to test this with.
