Yes. Compare:

$ file /usr/lib/libc.dylib
/usr/lib/libc.dylib: Mach-O universal binary with 4 architectures
/usr/lib/libc.dylib (for architecture ppc7400):	Mach-O dynamically  
linked shared library ppc
/usr/lib/libc.dylib (for architecture ppc64):	Mach-O 64-bit  
dynamically linked shared library ppc64
/usr/lib/libc.dylib (for architecture i386):	Mach-O dynamically linked  
shared library i386
/usr/lib/libc.dylib (for architecture x86_64):	Mach-O 64-bit  
dynamically linked shared library x86_64

There is lots of 64-bit in 10.5, just not the kernel.

I suppose it's possible the kernel doesn't use time_t in any typedefs,  
in which case it wouldn't matter whether the kernel was 32-bit or 64- 
bit.

ok
