I have built a 64-bit version for AMD's 64-bit and Intel's Core 2 
machines.  It's available here:
http://gel.ahabs.wisc.edu/mauve/downloads/mauve_linux_x64_2.0.0.tar.gz

I am working on 64-bit Mac builds, but there are some issues with 
apple's compiler that need to be sorted out.  It worries me when my code 
crashes the compiler.

For those who have other types of 64-bit computers, there are build 
instructions here:

When aligning large plant and animal genomes, one of the undocumented 
features of the command-line mauveAligner may come in handy.
mauveAligner can use two hard drives to do creation of the .sml files 
"outside-of-core-memory", which basically amounts to an out-of-core sort. 
We used that feature to generate the synteny maps for mammalian genomes 
published in the 2004 Genome Research paper, and later for a full 
alignment of the mammalian genomes.

To trigger the feature, simply add the command-line parameters:
--scratch-path=/path/to/disk1
--scratch-path=/path/to/disk2

More than two scratch disks can be used, just add another 
--scratch-path= to the command-line.  The important thing is that each 
path should really be on a separate hard drive, otherwise lots and lots 
of drive head seeking will result and the SML construction will probably 
take days instead of an hour or two.  It should be possible to use 
network drives or file servers, but that may be slow as well.  Beware 
that there's a bug which causes mauveAligner to crash immediately after 
finishing the SML construction, at least on linux.  The SML still gets 
created and executing the exact same mauveAligner command a second time 
will read the SML that the previous run had created.  So it's necessary 
to run mauveAligner once per SML and once to actually perform the alignment.
