I've been seeing the following test failure for trunk and release26-maint for a while, on OS X 10.6, on a relatively recent Macbook Pro (clean installation of Snow Leopard).  This is from a non-framework debug build (i.e., a simple ./configure && make).

There's nothing glaringly obviously wrong in the build log.

This seems to be a 64-bit issue.

The 32-bit build passes this test.

OK

When 64-bit build is used:

I've disabled the tests (and updated documentation) in r78061 (trunk), r78062 (2.6)

The root cause is that the implemention of macostools uses FSSpecs to implement the failing APIs and those aren't available in 64-bit code. I haven't reimplemented the failing APIs because the modern replacements aren't wrapped in the Carbon module.
