odcctools is the blocking factor here.  I once got it to compile in
64-bits mode, but it didn't work correctly.  The reason for that is that
they use "long" all over the place, and in LP64 this type changes size
of course, resulting in misalignment in many structs that correspond to
disk layouts of e.g. the dylib files.

In the latest odcctools I had to discard the patch that tried to convert
long, but I noticed that patch didn't do it quite right as well, so
maybe that's worth a try.  With a working linker, ~x64-macos came quite
far, last time pipping tried it, further than ~ppc64-macos, which had an
issue with openssl.
