Why does it matter if it is 64-bit or not? Most programs at the moment
don't benefit from being compiled 64-bit. I don't get the obsession with
64-bitness that most Linux and BSD people seem to have. I think
workstation Unices like Solaris and IRIX get things right (only stuff
that benefits from being 64-bit is 64-bit, the rest is 32-bit, so there
is no need for separate 32- and 64-bit versions of the system, and fewer
compatibility issues).
