Are they? I haven't run into problems yet.

(And pretty please, I misread the documentation.  It does *not* state
that amd64 is not a multilib target.  Sorry about that.)

I believe the OpenOffice Team had to do some rewriting because they assumed 32-bit ints/pointers, but that's about it.

If your bread and butter is Fortran programming, you don't even *know* that the pointers are twice the size on AMD64.
