 Yes, gambas apparently isn't 64-bit clean, and the code seems to be
 unpleasantly resistant to debugging.
 
 I would suggest that the binaries for amd64, ia64, and alpha be dropped from
 the archive for etch.
 

I've been managing this topic with the main gambas upstream author and
doesn't seem to be very interested in spending time for the 64-bit for
gambas. He's very busy with the gambas2 development where he plans to
fix these problems. So, removing gambas for the 64 bits archs for etch
seems reasonable.

Since I gather I am one of the few people to even try it, I'll have to 
agree. I only installed it to try it and I don't have any burning need 
for it.
