64-bit FFI will work on Unix and Windows with these fixes. I have not tried Mac, but I expect that some work would be needed. The changes are not trivial, and will affect the plugin, the VM itself, and the Pharo/Squeak images. The next big fix on our VM-team "to-do list" is to get sound working on 64-bit platforms, and FFI will come after that. I do not know the status of alien now, but my understanding is that it is limited to intel processors and 32-bit platforms. My guess is that it would be good to fix the old FFI first because those changes would likely have an impact on alien also. But I do not know much about alien, so I am not the best person to say.
