what's the reasoning for that? is it because that package has no
value in a 64-bit environment?
It's a compiler, and porting a compiler to another platform means
re-writing large areas of code (at least the code generation part,
maybe some optimization parts...) Just compiling the present code
will result in a cross-just-in-time compiler, which still will generate
x86-code...
