Hey Tom, Shane,
I'm good to run with the x86_64 only binary since my Apache is built
using that architecture.
That's not a real reason to run pg in 64 bit.
Although you would need php and libpq to be the same architecture as
apache (the running architect if multiple available) - the postgresql
server can be 32 bit. If apache is only 64 bit then you will need a 64
bit libpq.
Apache calls functions in the php module which then calls functions in
the libpq - they must all have matching architectures available to do
this which is why apple supplies fat binary libs with osx.
From there to postgresql is a network connection (or local socket) so
each program is just sending data to the other - they don't need to be
the same architecture any more than you need a 64 bit sparc browser to
connect to a 64 bit sparc web server.
