Which means "Feel free to hack the Makefile for your platform in 32-bit
mode so that it generates a 64-bit build, and then contribute your
changes back to the core so we can make sure the platform gets supported
in double-quick time!" We're happy to support such builds, but this sort
of thing is where we *require* feedback from people with the platforms
having problems.
