As long there is the understanding that only one elfspe binary, either 32bit or
64bit, can be installed, I don't think there is a real issue.

My understanding is, that the ADA compiler can produce either 32bit or 64bit
binaries depending on how the ADA compiler itself was built.
>From that perspective, choosing the 64bit seems the better choice. But I don't
have neither a strong opinion nor a strong background in this area.
