Hi Chitlesh

I advise you to retire Alliance RPMS from non ILP32 distributions such
as x86_64. Alliance code has behavioural problems which manifest
themselves on such platforms. There are no compile-time warnings for
some of these issues, and tools can behave in a non-deterministic
manner.

We are fixing these problems as we find them in Herb, but it will still
be a while before Herb releases are made.
