Bertrand,

gcc on Snow Leopard defaults to 64-bit compiling, Xcode projects apparently default to 32-bit.  As of R3.14.11 EPICS base does not have support in the build files for darwin-x86_64.  The "file is not of required architecture" came up when I was compiling some of my darwin R3.14.11 soft ioc's at the APS when I was upgraded to Snow Leopard.  If you add the following to your CONFIG_SITE file, then gcc will build and link for 32-bit.

ARCH_DEP_CFLAGS += -m32 -arch i386
ARCH_DEP_LDFLAGS += -arch i386

Hope that resolves your issue,

Steve Shoaf
