 Replying to [comment:10 leif]:
 > Another, safer way to detect if 64-bit builds are supported is to use
 `getconf`, e.g.

 >         # 64-bit builds supported
 >         echo "Max. unsigned long: `getconf -v POSIX_V6_LP64_OFF64
 ULONG_MAX`"
 >         # should give 2^64-1
 >     fi
 > }}}

 That's not true. Read the section on "Exit Status" on the OpenGroup web
 site.
