I guess amd64 is just as much a marketing term as x64 then, and whether |
| 13 |
or not fanboys, I don't care, but amd64-macos just doesn't make any |
| 14 |
sense to me, and em64t is just as bad as (if not worse than) amd64. I |
| 15 |
could even live with i64, even though that might get confused with ia64. |

Long story short, in the end it's just a keyword, so nothing life |
| 17 |
threathening. |
