Thanks for the tip. What is the simplest way to make a 64 bit kernel? I
have two options: cross compiling on my G4, or compiling under Darwin on
my G5.

Building a cross compiler looks complicated, and my compiling attempts
on the G5 have failed so far (sys/types.h not being found and similar
errors). It might be that I have not properly install XCode. I'll look
at it in more details.

Cheers
