My mistake, cut & past did some nasty things to my mail.
Linux indeed has been ported to some 64 bits architecturers like Alpha,
Ultra Sparc and IA64.
However replacing a 32 bit timekeeper with a 64b one is not as easy as
just recompiling. The 32 bit Linux folk are worried about 2038 and want
to anticipate. On a 32 bit platform this is rather hard.
