Hi,

amd64 also breaks this test in JObjC:

private static Arch getArch(){
    String arch = System.getProperty("os.arch");
    if("ppc".equals(arch)) return Arch.ppc;
    if("i386".equals(arch)) return Arch.i386;
    if("x86_64".equals(arch)) return Arch.x86_64;
    if("universal".equals(arch)) return Arch.x86_64;
    throw new RuntimeException("Did not recognize os.arch system property: '" + arch + "'");
}

But when testing for an arch, would it make sense to include also amd64 just to be safe?
