This way, you mess up your contribs. You'll probably need to do this
change after downloading and installing the contrib package (otherwise
configure will fail). Prior to the contribs' installation, this will
get you the wrong package.

This is wrong. Apple's version of GCC will output 64bit binaries by
default on Mac OS X Snow Leopard aka Darwin 10. Additionally, you'll
want to use the "-m32" or "-m64" flags to change the default behavior
instead of the "-arch" flag. The latter will not necessarily enforce
compilation for the desired architecture.
To change the architecture, make sure to export "-m64" or "-m32"
within CPPFLAGS and CXXFLAGS as well, as these are quite important for
VLC's compilation system.

Seems like your autotools installation is broken. Make sure that the
only auto* stuff in your $PATH is in extras/contrib.

Xcode 3.2 from the same system disk you used for your Snow Leopard
installation is absolutely fine. Future updates of the Xcode will be
available free of charge on connect.apple.com. Note that you'll need
to register for a free ADC Online Membership in order to be able to
download this software.
