Yes, I've tried with these both options: 
-q64
-qarch=ppc64

After running the .configure script, I modify the Makefile files to change
the "ar" and "ld" commands, adding the next modifiers:

ar -X64
ld -b64

But, after compiling, the linkedition doesn't work properly and make throws
an error at the "ld" stage...
