well, I'd guess that there is no trick: you are right that you have true
64bit world.

The next question is whether the Pascal is ready for 64 bits.

The asm you posted says:

        .local  I
        .common I,4,4
        .local  J
        .common J,4,4
        .local  N
        .common N,2399999996,4

My naive interpretation is that the integers are 4 bytes long, which means
32bit variables.  So it looks as if Pascal were thinking in 32bits.
Perhaps it also calls the gas for the 32bit target.

So I'd try to ensure that the Pascal generates "true 64bit asm."

Again, I don't understand the topic well, just guessing.
But I hope my comments will help in case noone posts any better answer.

Good luck,
        Stepan

PS: If you mail me what the problem was when you resolve it, I'd be glad.
I'm curious.
