Comment:

 As of this comment, the only remaining roadblocks for 64-bit Linux support
 that I can see based on failing/segfaulting unit tests are:

  * PostGIS: Replace usages of `unsigned long` (especially if they're being
 `sizeof()`'d) with an equivalently sized data type throughout the PostGIS
 rdbi driver. This is a different size on 64-bit Linux as opposed to
 windows (32 and 64-bit) and 32-bit Linux. The driver also appears to be
 selecting the wrong PG data types to use on 64-bit Linux based on unit
 test failures around overflowing values (eg. PostgreSQL will report: <some
 astronomical value> is too small for the type `smallint`)
  * SHP: Replace usages of `long` and `unsigned long` (especially if
 they're being `sizeof()`'d) with an equivalently sized data type
 throughout the ShpSpatialIndex project. Same reason as PostGIS, different
 size on 64-bit Linux.

 King Oracle has more underlying problems (#562 and #649) before we can
 even consider whether it works on 64-bit Linux.
