Thanks. I'm not using Xcode, but a Makefile-based build system. Before
calling make, I need to trash the precompiled headers if they are not
compatible. To find out if this is the case, I remember the
command-line options that the headers were built with, and the version
of gcc that was used to build them. None of these have changed when I
upgraded to Xcode 3.2 (I explicitly call g++-4.0), so it must be the
64-bit thing then.


How do I determine whether gcc will run in 32-bit mode or 64-bit mode?
How does Xcode do it?  It doesn't even store the gcc version that was
used to build the precompiled headers (at least not in
.gch.hash-criteria).

gcc, like all command-line apps in Snow Leopard, will launch in 64 bits on a 64-bit machine. You could set $CC to "arch -i386 /usr/bin/ gcc" to force 32-bit.


Xcode creates and uses the hash-criteria to determine whether to rebuild the precompiled headers, and it just invalidates them when the compiler version is changed. gcc can tell that a pch is incompatible, but I'm not sure what mechanism it uses to do so.
