Side note: I don't _expect_ a performance gain in using a AMD64 compiled version. Switching from 32bit to 64bit results in a larger executable (as pointers grow from 32 to 64 bits). This may result in a _slower_ executable, as the resulting code may not fit into the CPU cache anymore. The cache would play ping-pong in this case (switching between parts of the code). I've read about a performance loss of 20-30% for some specific applications (but with sparc64, not amd64).
But on x86, we might benefit from the increased number of visible registers.
If someone compares the performance between an ia32 and amd64 compiled version of LAME, I would be interested to know the actual numbers.

Regarding the original question, as Alexander answered, we only distribute source code.
Moreover, we do not have any amd64 computer. I think that this is a major blocker.
