It is not the packages that are maintained/QA'ed by companies/organizations
such as Red Hat, SUSE, Mandrake, Debian, *BSD, etc. but the 3rd party
packages who only worry about the 32 bit world ... and Microsoft's choice of
4 byte "long" but 8 byte pointers in their 64 bit Windows does not make
things easier either.
This http://www.opengroup.org/public/tech/aspen/lp64_wp.htm is a nice writeup
on the 64 bit programming models.
