Yeah, the SPARC people tell me to /only/ compile the kernel for 64-bit
(actually, you have to to even boot a 64-bit SPARC ;)), but to compile
everything else for 32-bit, as there's no good reason to compile anything as
64-bit since none of the userspace programs (or almost none) are programmed to
use any 64-bit coolness, so you just get bigger binaries that take longer to
load and use more memory. ;)
