I don't think it's actually needed in the AMD64 port either.  The way 
these get defined should work properly on any 64-bit system that 
defines _LP64.

Somewhere I've got a source tree (from before I got hosed with work and 
stopped being able to contribute) where one of my few pending patches 
was the deletion of some of these symbols from the AMD support, like I 
did for the Alpha in, oh, wow, was it back in 2002?  But I didn't get 
to test out or check in the AMD changes...  Maybe soon, now that I've 
got access to an AMD x86_64 system, and some amount of spare time, I 
can fix that, and contribute a little more as well.
