I don't know the official answer, but it seems to me (from following the mailing lists and commits) that Igor is working on adding necessary features (e.g. compressed oops was added recently[1]) and fixing bugs on the -client compiler that arise from using it in 64-bit mode and/or tiered mode. I would expect tiered to work in 64-bit (otherwise there would be no point for compressed oops) and progress is being made there as they have now enabled testing of it in JPRT[2]. Perhaps they will also enable -client for 64-bit once they feel it works well enough.
