-fPIC is on by default on Mac OS X, so that's easy. Having 64-bit floats is quite nice on the interface side because it means you can have large integers in Pd, like timestamps.
The 64 bit buzzword refers to memory addressing; double precision floats are different than 64 bit CPUs or applications. FPUs have used 64 bit floats for years regardless of their addressing capabilities.
