Ah yes, I think I have stumbled on this as well.  This is probably  
caused because the default jhbuildrc for the Mac forces a build for  
the 486:

# When building on intel, force build to be 486, since glib won't
# enable asm atomic operations otherwise.
#
try:
    _f = os.popen("uname -p")
    if _f.read().startswith("i386"):
    append_autogenargs("glib", "--build=i486-apple-darwin")

I changed the last line to:

     append_autogenargs("glib", "--build=x86_64-apple-darwin")

And that fixed it for me.   (If you have a Mac with a Core2 processor,  
the user land will be in 64-bit in Snow Leopard).
