You sound a bit pessimistic here, son. Why don't you just say it directly if you think the author is a dickhead? I don't think he is. I think it's reasonable to wait for official 64-bit packages for the toolchain. It's totally unreasonable to expect him to compile a custom version of the toolchain and spend hours on it every few weeks. After all, the other compilers can be installed with 'apt-get install foofoo'.
