So I work on Songbird and apparently it doesn’t need to have the 64bit version of the libIDL in MacPorts. I was building with no problems on a recently upgraded desktop computer. I then tried to build Thunderbird and got major fail:

ld: warning: in /opt/local/lib/libIDL-2.dylib, file is not of required architecture
ld: warning: in /opt/local/lib/libglib-2.0.dylib, file is not of required architecture
ld: warning: in /opt/local/lib/libintl.dylib, file is not of required architecture
ld: warning: in /opt/local/lib/libiconv.dylib, file is not of required architecture

Thinking this was something to do with MacPorts I tried a sudo port selfupdate, this failed even worse!

dlopen(/Library/Tcl/macports1.0/MacPorts.dylib, 10): no suitable image found.  Did find:
	/Library/Tcl/macports1.0/MacPorts.dylib: no matching architecture in universal wrapper
    while executing
"load /Library/Tcl/macports1.0/MacPorts.dylib"
    ("package ifneeded macports 1.0" script)
    invoked from within
"package require macports"
    (file "/opt/local/bin/port" line 39)

OK so what the hell, well a little Google search and I find that there is a new version for Snow Leopard, so I downloaded and tried the update again with success.

Now off to build again after the update completes…
