you're going to need to run the development tree. You'll also need additional patches. You can see here: http://www.csl.cornell.edu/~vince/projects/m5/m5_x86_64_se_status.html for the status of m5 for x86_64, at least with the SPEC2000 benchmarks. There's at least 8 patches or so there that would need to be applied before SPEC2000 ran, I've been meaning to clean them up and submit them at some point, but graduating/getting a new job has sucked up all my time. In general, none of the x87 floating point support will work. You'll need to compile your binaries using SSE only. I also am not sure what the status of multi-threaded programs is in X86_SE mode, I imagine it will take a bit of work to get stock compiled PARSEC running.
