The x32 ABI allows users to take advantage of the extra registers on x86-64 without the bloat of 64-bit pointers and longs. This ought to be significant since Perl was designed when 32-bit was prevalent; and the common structs for ops, hashes, scalars, and arrays use longs (SSize_t/Size_t) for things which should never need 64-bits when processing emails. Debian's x32 port seems to work quite nicely under a chroot on an amd64 Linux system. All tests pass under x32, now.
