It would be interesting to
know the reasons for the failures however and what is different about the
x86-64 environment that resulted in test differences that ended up being
classified as failures.

  I don't know specifically, but with my very limited experience with C++, the
X86_64 compiler is much less accepting of the syntax that the Alpha and IA64 compilers
accepted.
Some of the changes are pretty mechanical (casting or simple refactoring); some are not.
Don't ask me to describe the "some are not" part, because I'm getting help to deal wit
those.
For the tests failing, it may be due to code not yet working, but I don't have
any inside knowledge there.
