Well, yes, it is implied :-)

Tor did correct me on that one - so compiling against the 10.6SDK is
supposed to work, although not an option for builds released for the
general public for obvious reasons (missing compatibility with 10.4
and 10.5)

"you" as in me? :-)
Then the answer is "no", as I only have a PPC mac with Mac OSX 10.4 -
so neither can I try compiling for newer SDKs nor can I try with a
intel build...

I might attempt cross-compiling for Intel, but its unlikely that I
will try it with that machine, since despite beeing quite beefy (Dual
2.5Ghz G5, 2GB RAM), compared to Linux the build is dead slow. (fully
ccached the fastest ones (i.e. those with no changes in between still
take >100minutes - typical build time is more like 3 to 4 hours)

"you" as in "whoever reads this"
Might be an option - as there are tinderboxes that build from ramdisk
and can complete a build in 15 minutes...
But I don't see any benefit of a 64bit build.
