Thank you, yet I don't have access to Mac Pro.

64bit-x86 Carbon will be provided in future, and
it is possible that ppc64 Carbon is still missing in future.
Thus, unified conditional __LP64__ for current status may be
disunified in future, aslike

#if defined( __ppc64__ ) || \
  ( defined( __x86_64__ ) && MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED < 1050 )

I will rewrite the conditional without unification by __LP64__.
Please wait a few days (now I'm in duty-trip without Macintosh).

However, I remember configure checks Carbon framework availability,
so I wish building FreeType2 on 64bit Intel Mac 10.4.x won't cause
such problem. You had problem?
