Yes, because unless you enable -DAT_64BIT when building, the code assumes
that sizeof(int) == sizeof(void *).  There *is* code in xt-aterm which
appears to be intended to support building for 64-bit targets, even if it's
only enabled for sparc64.  Are you sure that setting this define isn't
enough to make the packages build correctly for alpha and ia64?
