Actually, these days there is a 64-bit libc, so you can compile 64-bit
userland stuff (not that there are many 64-bit binaries around). However,
compiling them for 64-bit mode made no difference for xfs_repair,
it still died of SIGBUS in approximately the same place. I haven't
looked at any of the other userspace utilites yet (apart from mkfs).
