I'm not suggesting that all x86-64 users will use devel sorcery, and the spell
wouldn't compile if it used the x86 drivers.  But technically this is an
unsupported architecture the SMGL_COMPAT_ARCHS var in devel is a big step to
fully supporting other archictures, especially for binary spells, and not just
for x86-64. So I really don't see the problem, those users that use stable or
test sorcery are left in the same boat as they were before, running sourcemage
on an architecture that is techically unsupported by sourcemage.

I honestly wouldn't like to do some weird hack like that to try to support 
this
for test and stable sorcery.
