I have not looked into this particular case, but besides alpha
and ia64 there aren't any other 64bit native ports in Debian and very
few open source people use 64bit platforms. So many pieces of code out
there that do compile still could have problems with pointers, etc. We
will be probably finding and fixing those types of problems for a while.
Although it would be odd if that is the case with gnome stuff since they
use glib for that (iirc), which is supposed to help protect them from
making those types of mistakes.
