Yet I'm not sure what kind of systems you're thinking of,
FreeType2 is already known to run on several amd64 systems:
GNU/Linux on amd64, FreeBSD on amd64, Mac OS X on amd64,
etc. Also I'm sure that FreeType2 was running on Unix-like
systems and OpenVMS on legacy Alpha CPU. 

One of the problem is that bit length of char, int, long
(FT_SIZEOF_INT, FT_SIZEOF_LONG, FT_SIZEOF_CHAR) are
statically defined by ftconfig.h. The file is written
for each platforms (Win32, Amiga, VMS, ...), or statically
configured by running configure script when the library
is built. Some people wants single ftconfig.h to switch
these values dynamically (in the other words, they are
expected to be defined by the compilers internal macros
like __LP64__ etc). It's my task but not solved yet, I'm
looking for reliable standard...
