Unfortunately at this time we don't support x86_64.  I don't have enough
infrastructure for a 64bit build system to produce the 64bit packages.
Also, I'm not confident that there are enough x86_64 users willing to
test and QA x86_64 packages.  That said, the SRPMS can be rebuilt if
you're inclined to do so.

Yep, next transition will be much better planned.  I swear.
