Charm++ parallel programming system

[Phil Miller <mille121 AT illinois.edu>]

While it's not a very pleasant solution, as a workaround you could
edit the desired flags directly into our compiler wrapper's
configuration scripts. In this case, those would be
src/arch/net-darwin-x86_64/conv-mach.sh and
src/arch/common/cc-clang.sh.

The 64-bit issue is probably the lack of the argument -m64 to the
compilers, which we have for gcc/g++ on that platform, but don't have
in the generic clang compiler script. I'll see about generalizing that
at least so that non-default compilers on 64-bit platforms still get
passed the appropriate flag.

I'm sorry this has gotten in the way of your work. Please let us know
if the above gets you through your trouble, or if we can help you
further.
