Wow. Sounds like my adventures in 64-bit SPARC Linux and 64-bit (non-Sun) Solaris packages. I'm with Rob - the state of the art is inadequate, and even if you built everything from source (which I tried a few years ago) you'll find so much of the free software out there is not 64-bit clean that it just won't work. Use 32-bit until 64-bit is not just a standard but the standard (the way that i686 is becoming the standard default over i386).
