I have got a AMD 64 GNAT right here. Works fine as long as you remember to
use -fPIC. Of course any program relying on access types and 'Address
beeing 32 bit will fail - most notably this includes trace utilities.

In fact the newer GNATs now has a new System.Address_Image package for that
reason.
