Victor, the binaries are build on the macOS version mentioned in the download. That is, the modern 64-bit installers are build on macOS 10.9 with the 10.9 SDK, the older 32/64-bit intel installers are build on macOS 10.6 with the 10.6 SDK.

With some work it should be possible to build the 64-bit installer on newer macOS releases, but that requires some work to ensure the code deals well with weakly linked symbols.  I've added such support in the past for older macOS releases, so this is definitely doable.  I'd love to work on this, but don't know when I'll have time to do so.

BTW. I'm pretty sure there's an issue about this, but cannot find it at the moment.
