Thanks, it looks like this will work. Unfortunately gcc-4.0-x86-64 +
deps are an 80MB download but I guess that's better than nothing. I'm
still disgusted at having to use third party .debs to accomplish
something so utterly trivial.

FWIW I tried -m64 as described in one of the other links you sent and
got these errors.

I wonder if this is why so many x86-64 users use Gentoo despite its
apparent complexity: because the 64 bit support in other distros is
shit.

$ make CFLAGS="-m64 -mcpu=x86-64" ARCH=x86_64
