I have  both gcc-4.0 and gcc-4.2 in /usr/bin but gcc points to 
gcc-4.0.  I have Xcode version 3.2.6 and I see in Get Info that there 
is an option to open in 32-bit mode.  That may have been switched on 
in the migration... but listen to wiser counsel than mine.

I have been thinking so all day after watching the announcement of 
iCloud, a complete non-happening designed, like everything Apple, for 
shop-happy groupees.  It is "free", up to a point, once you have 
bought your latest Mac, your latest iPhone and your latest iPad, paid 
the interest on the loans and the subscription to all the service 
providers for the connectivity needed to download tune after useless 
tune at an inflated price. My first 128K Mac with a dot matrix 
printer cost me over $4,000 in 1984, so the writing has been on the 
wall for a long time. </offtopic>
