And absolutely critically, I need to be able to compile Bacula 64-bit.
ALL of the open-source packages are 32-bit.

Every single third-party packaging site says "We build 32-bit because
most of the time it doesn't matter, and 64-bit binaries MAY be sligltly
slower than 32-bit even on 64-bit hardware..."

Look, I don't care if a task runs 2%-3% slower.  But I *REALLY* care if
something as simple as a file copy craps out in the middle of a 4GB file
because it can't handle a file offset larger than 2GB.  If raw speed
were the only criterion we could all run 8-bit Atari emulators.
