A quick note. I remember that with XS 0.7 running on CentOS6.x it had to
be the 32 bit OS. Reuben Caron may know more.

I ran into this problem when porting the OLPC activation server from running on a 32-bit VM to running natively on owl.laptop.org which is 64-bit.

The issues were with the toms libs that did all the crypto and optimised math. They would not produce correct results in earlier 64bit releases. This was fixed in later versions.

I can't remember the gory details but there's some tweaks that need to be made to the makefile and to pysign but after that it works.

Looking at my build of bios-crypto on owl I still have the changes should anyone want to build a package for 64bit.
