Sure.  We've been using alpha, ultrasparc (in 64-bit mode) and opteron 
systems running UNIX-type software to test the 1.4 release, and I think 
we used all of them with the 1.3 release too.  There are occasional 
problems, but mostly they've had more to do with, e.g., our RPC library 
not being able to register a service with the NetBSD rpcbind daemon, 
not 64-bit-specific issues.  (Which is not to say that there might not 
still be some issues, like large-file support, that may be related to 
doing some things in 64-bit math, but the basic stuff seems to be 
working.)

64-bit Windows, that's another story....
