The configure script is finding gcc-3.3, and IIRC, Apple's GCC 3.3 can't produce x86 binaries. As of MacPorts 1.6, GCC 4 should automatically be selected. Could you please check if it works now?

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

It picks up gcc-4.0 and builds OK for me. Marking WFM since reporter hasn't responded in 2 weeks.
