We are not planning to support running x86_64 builds on Mac OS X 10.5 because the 64-bit application run-time is not mature enough. We should make this requirement explicit so that people don't accidentally run x86_64 builds on Mac OS X 10.5 and run into problems.

(In reply to comment #0) > the 64-bit application run-time is not mature enough. What specific problems are there?
There might be a specific list somewhere but my experience a while ago was unpleasant and friends had the same experience. That would make sense since 64-bit GUI applications are very rare on 10.5 (basically Xcode and Chess, both 32-bit by default).
Aside from Apple framework bugginess, we don't have proper API support for things like IME in 64-bit 10.5 (NSInputContext is 10.6 only and our 64-bit builds will probably end up depending on it).
