chipguy - And how exactly do AMD64 binaries arise? Mutation? Pixie dust?

Quantispeed! Man, how could you forget? :-)

Seriously, 32-bit binaries still work fine under AMD64, so a recompile is not a pressing issue. Yet, that is not so under IA64 where the speed of the 32-bit code is not good at all.
