Re: 10.5 OS X ppc64 problem

I'm trying to install the ppc64 bit version on my server, It completes, but when I try to build PHP with postgre support, it complains about a set of libraries in the postgresql install and it dumps this:

ibs/libphp5.bundle libs/libphp5.so
ld: warning in /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.dylib, file is not of required architecture
Undefined symbols for architecture ppc64:

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
lipo: can't open input file: /var/tmp//cc4QkRzU.out (No such file or directory)
make: *** [libs/libphp5.bundle] Error 1

I am configuring with these settings.
CFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch ppc64 -g -Os -pipe -no-cpp-precomp" CCFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch ppc64 -g -Os -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch ppc64 -g -Os -pipe" LDFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch ppc64 -bind_at_load"

All I see are issues with the ppc64 build, and the binaries are all crap. One universal binary had ppc, i386, x86_64, but no ppc64. Since everything in 10.5 is 64 bit, php will not compile with 32 bit postgre libraries (unless I missed something).

sh-3.2# file libpq.dylib
libpq.dylib: Mach-O dynamically linked shared library ppc

Can anyone offer any advice?

There has been some talk about getting postgres to build as a universal
binary. The current makefiles don't support the option but a couple of
people have come up with work arounds. I do believe that there are plans
to add this to future releases.

FYI, we are making some progress:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2008-07/msg00884.php

I am not sure we'll ever bother to fix the configuration-file issue,
but other than that it does seem to be feasible to build universal
binaries without major hacking on the source code as of CVS HEAD.
(I fixed the postgres.bki issue a few minutes ago.)
