I have a bug filed against me for the debian package to this effect.
I also run amd64 at home.

So, in ~10 days I will definitely port it to linux/amd64.
(Though not *BSD or Solaris since I don't have these)

If you need it before then, you'll have to do it yourself.
Send me a copy, though. :-)

PS. It should be quite easy; I believe the i386 code would probably
work without change, but I am not at home and can't confirm this.

It is conceivable that the new amd64 registers changed the location of 
th stack pointer in jmpbuf, but I doubt it.

Try changing md.h, lines 153, 374, 433, 465, and 530 from
#(el)if defined(__i386__)
to
#(el)if defined(__i386__) || defined(__x86_64__)

Good luck!
