There are various free compilers, and only a few don't work on
amd64 yet.
Some that I know:
- bigloo (scheme)
- chill
- clisp (Lisp)
- ghc6 (Haskell)
- fpc (Pascal), not in the archive, but should get uploaded tomorrow
- gcl (Lisp)
- ocaml
- smarteiffel
- sbcl (Lisp), not sure why you say it doesn't count, it seems to
create a native exectuable?
Most things supported by gcc, including:
- gcc (C)
- g++ (C++)
- gcj (Java)
- gnat (Ada)
- g77 (Fortran 77)
- gfortran (Fortran 95)
- gobjc (Object C)
- gpc (pascal)
Then there are things like:
- mono (C#)
- kaffe (java)
- jikes (java)
- pnet (C#)
Then there are a few things that convert from some language to C.

That seems to be genereting a 32 bit executable, so you need
ia32-libs-dev, but you really should avoid that.
It also doesn't seem to like gcc/g++ 3.4 or 4.0 at all, and we don't
have a lib32stdc++5, only lib32stdc++6 for building 32 bit
applications.
I have no idea why they call it "open64".
