I believe I have done with TARGET_ARCH=amd64 or something on the line. As
I've done it about a year ago, I don't recall some of these details.
After a couple of months, I decided to switch back to i386. It was just to
experiment amd64. I share the same executables among multiple systems (although
there are only 2 or 3) to sync software versions. (It is not often but having
diffrent versions of the same software causes some problems.) Since I have i386
machines, I cannot share amd64 binraries.
