I am compiling FG since more than 18 months on a 64bit O/S and processor (but NOT dualcore!) without any serious problem. That is AMD 64 3700 OpenSUSE 10.1/10.2 x86_64 (64 bit version) FlightGear OSG CVS (and for a long time also PLIB - to enjoy 3D clouds and shadows from time to time :-) ) Only all 64bit development libraries have to be installed, normally only something like the runtime libraries are installed (sorry I am so vague but I am no Linux guru). I don't know anything about your Linux O/S but maybe you can get all available libs listed from a helper tool. The development libraries are often name XXXX-dev. At last I have to mention that I changed my OpenSUSE 10.3 (64 bit) from internally testplatform to productive system status and with THIS O/S I have some strange compiling errors - other than you have. And this BEFORE OSG 2.4 got FlightGear default. Just to mention. Sorry that I cannot give better advice but it might be good to hear for you that for more than 18 months a 64bit compiling was not only possible but very easy. So 64bit is NOT the problem, it might be more the libraries and compile-procedures.
