I'm adding 64-bit support to some applications that we ship, and I have some questions related to the "Base SDK" and "Mac OSX Deployment Target" settings.

My requirements are the following:
- On a machine running 10.5 or later, I need to run 64-bit code.
- On a machine running 10.4, it's okay to run 32-bit code.
- We do not support anything earlier than 10.4.

If I want to build a 64-bit binary, then I have to build against the 10.5 SDK (if I try to build 64-bit against 10.4 SDK, I get a compile error). If I build against the 10.5 SDK, then I have to deploy on 10.5 as well, since the Objective-C ABI changed in 10.5. However, our software also needs to support 10.4. I'm trying to determine what is the best way to deploy our software, which build settings to use, etc., while achieving these requirements.

See here:
