Are there any changes needed to the python executable binary to  
support 64bits?  I compiled a quick 64bit python executable as a  
companion to the system's Python like so:

gcc -arch x86_64 -arch ppc64 -I/System/Library/Frameworks/ 
Python.framework/Headers -lpython2.5 -o python64 Modules/python.c

Tested OK with gdal-python.  sys.maxint gives the 64bit value.
