Yes, '-m64' works and that's what I use for my 64bit curl package for
Fink. You can also use the '-arch' flag to get a specific
architecture, like '-arch x86_64' and multiple '-arch' will give you,
well, multiple architectures. You do have to make sure that any
libraries you link to are also 64bit. All libraries included with OS X
10.5.x are 4-way fat (i386, x86_64, ppc, ppc64) but if you use any
extra libs like libssh2, they may have to be rebuilt.
