gcc supports it just fine.  I did the FirstOne()/LastOne() AMD64 assembly for
Crafty for the last CCT event.  I did 'em as inline asm rather than external to
give the compiler a better chance to optimize.

Apparently Suse is the linux distro to use, it comes with gcc configured to
produce 64 bit code, the O/S supports the 64 bit stuff (including extra
registers so context switching is clean), etc.

That is what I used on the quad opteron I was running on.
