We had developed a 32-bit application for Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5.
Would the same work on 10.6 without any changes or would it require to
be recompiled for 64-bit ?
No, you don't have to recompile, your 32-bit app should just work.
In SnowLeopard, the 64-bit kernel supports 32-bit and 64-bit processes
just as the 32-bit kernel does.
Will Mac OS X gcc compiler on Snow Leopard natively build 64-bit
binaries ?
Yes, it does
