Indeed, I've sent in a small patch for a warning I got on FreeBSD, however I'm not sure how to get autoconf to check the host system, I'll examine other locations in the code and see if I can't cobble a patch together. Regarding OS X my Leopard 64-bit builds aren't an oft required build type, I'll wait till I upgrade to Snow Leopard to attempt fixing of the build scripts there.
