These are the wrong files. The regular VM compiles fine on 64 bits:
http://squeakvm.org/unix/
"squeak64" is the experimental 64 bit *image* support, which is
incompatible with all the Squeak images:
http://squeakvm.org/squeak64/faq.html
Ian, can we change the squeak64 page again? The FAQ link is too subtle
apparently.
E.g. change title to "Squeak 64-bit image support (experimental)" and
add a warning on the top a la "<b>WARNING</b> If you merely want to
compile a Squeak VM for a 64 bit machine, you are on the <b>wrong</b>
page! Please use the <a href="/unix">regular VM</a> instead, which was
made 64 bit clean in the mean time. Try the FAQ ..."
