BTW, as a general question, is there a reliable way to detemine the "mapping" 
between an ISA and her corresponding 64-bit counterpart, as in:

i386 -> amd64
sparc -> sparcv9
ppc -> ppc64
?

I would think that it would be much more scalable to be able to determine this 
dynamically, than hardcode a bunch of case statements.
