The current SVN tree includes everything which was in those patches
(they were against 3.4 rather than 3.4.1, so getting them to apply
wasn't entirely straightforward).

If you check out the tree from SVN, then you can generate the build
framework using autoconf/automake/libtool using:

autoreconf -if

(we've been using autoconf-2.61, automake-1.10, libtool-1.5.22).

then building like this will get you a 64 bit version:

CPPFLAGS=-xarch=generic64 LDFLAGS=-xarch=generic64 ./configure
make
make install

will get you a 64 bit setoolkit installed/built (assuming you've got
Sun Studio somewhere in your PATH).

Alternatively Dagobert's been working on a package for Blastwave which
is almost certainly an easier route (though I'm not sure how far away
he his from having something ready to release).
