__AMD64__ is defined when 64bit x86 instruction set is used,

Then you have explictly designed your ABI to break existing
software, and it is broken by design and should not be adopted.
Yes, some existing software packages don't compile with x32.
They need to be ported to x32.
By definition, almost every software package that checks __AMD64__
would be broken by this design. A good design would not have
broken most of those by incompatibly changing the existing AMD64
ABI guarantees. This design is untenable and I see no reason
to change our software to workaround your design flaws.
