Well, I have two sets of runtime libraries under the compiler tree for the
two architecture. When I compile something with the -m64 switch the
resulted binary listed by the "file" command as 64-bit executable. So it
looks like a true 64 bit world. We managed to compile 64bit gawk and perl
with gas and they are able to address large chunks of the memory - 14 Gig
went OK. These tools may have their own trick to access the memory.
