   Has anyone tried the x86-64 build on OS X 10.5?  I've built from an
   up-to-date, clean repository on a machine with the most recent
   official C build installed, and I'm getting this error:

     Microcode Error: No error handlers.
     Error code 0x18 (fasl-file-bad-data).

   I'm asking about 10.5 since that's the only difference between my
   setup and what I expect you're running (10.6).

I haven't tried building it on OS X at all, but did you build the C
distribution as i386 or as x86-64?  If i386, that will cause make.bin
to be a 32-bit fasl, which the 64-bit microcode won't know how to
read.  You may need to build the C distribution with

sh etc/make-liarc.sh 'CFLAGS=-arch x86_64'
