I have a pure 64-bit system without multilib too. I also made a full sorcery
rebuild, which was successful with devel grimoire. All fixes are submitted to
their respective spells. I will be integrating them into test soon.

After installing from the ISO, I booted from a Knoppix CD, moved all stuff
from
/lib64 to /lib and from /usr/lib64 to /usr/lib, then made symlinks. Both gcc
and g++ now have "no multilib" option that is the default on x86_64.
/etc/ld.so.conf only has /lib, /usr/lib and /usr/X11R6/lib.

I had to add "#define HaveLib64 NO" to host.def for xorg. That's enough to
build
it, but not enough to run :-). Xorg's ELF loader fails on startx.

There are several spells that misbehave on 64-bit system. Some has bad
assembler
inside, some don't recognize the archspecs, etc. Some are easily fixable,
others... I have no idea.

Cool. The best would be to post bugs for x86-64 related problem (so I know which devel spells I need to use right now). BTW, can someone please add x86-64 architecture in our bugzilla? Right now, we only have "All", "PPC", "x86", "Sparc" and "Other"!
