What is the output of lipo -info /opt/local/lib/libiconv.dylib ?

[PaulForgey (Paul Forgey)]

D'oh, that answered my question and this bug is in error. Apologies.

OS 10.6 with gcc-4.2 by default now builds x64, and so that library will not link.

Rebuilding all my installed ports now (which is actually problematic, as -f upgrade won't rebuild dependancies first)

lipo -info /opt/local/lib/libiconv.dylib 
Non-fat file: /opt/local/lib/libiconv.dylib is architecture: i386
