it doesn't matter right now.  The 64 bit test release is small, compared
to the 32 bit distro, and it doesn't contain all required libs yet.  For
instance, I built the 64 bit OpenSSH version without tcp_wrappers and
without Kerberos support, simply because we're missing the libs.
So, if your 32 bit distro version is better or contains more
functionality than the 64 bit version, so be it.  At one point the
64 bit release will catch up.
