12 or using the upcoming x32 ABI with KEYWORDS=amd64 ?
13
14 if a package has a configure flag to control "64bitness", it is absolutely
15 broken. figure out what exactly the "64bitness" means (pointer size ? data
16 width ? assumptions about size of long ?) and replace it with a proper
17 configure time check. then the whole 64 configure flag can be thrown away.
