Sorry, you're talking through your hat. GnuCash isn't built as a universal binary, it's 32-bit only. 32-bit programs run just fine on all 64-bit OSes supported by Gtk+. We (meaning I) provide two such, one for PPC built on an actual PPC Mac Mini and one Intel, built on a MacPro running MacOS 10.13.2, but using Xcode 3 and MacOSX-10.5.sdk to provide backward compatibility.
