Got it. The problem is that we build gcc and then slot gnu ld into
its tools directory, which causes at least one subtle problem
(stripping a C++ program with the vendor strip yields a bad
executable, but only with ld from binutils 2.15, not with previous
versions) as well as this 64-bit compilation issue.
Assuming no surprises, next summer's Athena release will build and
install binutils and gcc in a more normal way, and this bug should be
fixed.
