Compiling on Mac OS 10.8.4 fails at abclibs

[CatalinVoss]

Building crossbridge using $ make fails on Mac OS 10.8.4. I keep seeing this error and haven't had much success debugging.

    -  abclibs
    Failed to build: abclibs
    make[1]: *** [all_with_local_make] Error 1
    make: *** [all] Error 2

abclibs log doesn't contain munch info:

I found this in asdoc log, but not sure if it's related. The package lists 64-bit Java JVM as a requirement.

    Error: This Java instance does not support a 32-bit JVM.
    Please install the desired version.

Did you use native java which comes with mac os? If you installed Oracle one, try /usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.6 Your avatar is very cute :D

I circumvented this issue by editing tools/flex/bin/asdoc removing the $D32 parameter. And it seemed to work fine. Any reason why ASDoc still requires a 32-bit JVM ? I can guess this is a legacy issue which should not happen on modern OSes / JVMs, right ?
