No.  There will only be /compat/linux.  No linux32 or linux64 versions.
Sometime in the future the linux_base port will be larger (ie, contain
64-bit objects also).  The 64-bit things will live in the places
specified by the Linux LSB spec.

For right now, add amd64 to 'ONLY_FOR_ARCHS'.  And add any of the rest of
the below that is needed:

    .if (${ARCH} == "amd64")
    ARCH=			i386
    FALLBACK_ELF_MIB=	kern.elf32.fallback_brand
    RPMFLAGS+=		--noscripts
    .endif

Doesn't anyone read the ports' Makefile any more??
