There may not be any amd64 issues, but there certainly are a lot of
gripes.

For those who operate a pure 64-bit system (no multi-lib), there is
a fair amount of highly useful software that has not yet been updated
to be 64-bit clean.  For example, Adobe PDF Reader, Foxit PDF Reader,
and the Intel ICC compiler are still 32-bit.  I wish these folks would
get with the modern trends.
