You do not a gcc build with 64 bit libraries, yes. If you don't
want to go through the hassle of building that yourself you can
use the one from blastwave which has 64 bit libraries:

That's how I make the package, so they really should match ;-)

Makefile?revision=3D23&view=3Dmarkup

I personally like the idea of being able to choose between gcc
and Sun Studio, although I prefer the latter. If you are
willing to work on those issues I'll be happy to commit that
patch :-)
