64-bit.

How is this handled in the build framework?

probably way more sophisticated. It recompiles smalljac multiple times,
one for each genus...

I'd say that's overkill for present purposes.
Also, to clarify the workflow here, I'm assuming that this will ticket be
closed once there exists ''some'' way to call smalljac within Sage,
however user-unfriendly (i.e., get it to build and write a minimal
wrapper). Making it useful, by adding appropriate class methods to
elliptic and hyperelliptic curves, should be a separate ticket.
