  I have been using the svn version 2 weeks ago on x86_64, it did
work, but the check wasn't as complete as on the i386 (it missed
a global variable pointer leak that was found by the same version 
on i386) but this is a very important progress. I think providing
test version for x86_64 is likely to help them iron out the last 
bugs and will help finding x86_64 specific bugs when working. Maybe
making it availble as a test update is the right thing to do at
this point.
