Indeed; there's no sign of any amd64 files on that server.
I don't remember ever seeing them there. Not just for unstable either -
the hoary debs are also i386 only.

That's probably due to gcc 4. Try with gcc-3.3.

I think Ubuntu includes MythTV, so you got the debs from ubuntu.com
and not from mdz's personal site. Debian does not include MythTV.
There are brand new source packages available from mdz's site which might
compile for you on unstable ie they'll do the right thing wrt gcc.
