Dear project management,

I know it\'d be just too much to natively support 64-bit port of Linux. Most probably there wouldn\'t even be any gain in processing speed. However, it would be really nice to support the named platform in a backward-compatible mode: if BOINC client requests work and quoting host platform as x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, CPDN server could regard it as i686-pc-linux-gnu and act accordingly.

Is it possible?

Metod ...
