Last x86_64 installations I whitnessed were made from the thistles.
It's a simpler boot cd that basically contains a chroot tarball and a
script to ease extraction of that onto a partition and entering the
chroot for (re)building the system. You can also directly use a chroot
tarball and extract it onto a partition / filesystem for a vm...
Please note that the main problem with x86_64 support is the iso, not the
running system. A SMGL system tends to be installed once and then
updated for years - that may be a reason we are stronger in keeping
systems alive than creating new installations;-) Once you booted in
some sort of smgl on your x86_64 the casting of stuff works fine; we
have "archspecs" for the 64 bitters and are also taking care for them
in spells where it matters. There's also a smgl-emul32 spell that
installs a set of extra 32bit libraries to be able to run 32bit
binaries, as we don't do multilib (which is a _good_ thing imho).
We just lag in creating isos for fresh installs...
We don't have an iso for alpha systems (yet), but my XP1000 workstation
is happily running smgl - bootstrapped from a gentoo install, even.
Alrighty then,
Thomas.
