As mct pointed out, I asked for the wrong thing. (egcs64 is used
explicilty to build 64-bit kernels.)

I'd hazard a guess that you are running with the processor in 64-bit
mode, but probably not getting as much out of it as you will after
gcc3 stableizes and you start building kernels with it instead.
(It's been rototilled here and there to be more portable and clean.
Though it's still a nightmare to follow the code.)
