You sound a bit pessimistic here, son. Why don't you just say it directly 
if you think the author is a dickhead? I don't think he is. I think it's 
reasonable to wait for official 64-bit packages for the toolchain. It's 
totally unreasonable to expect him to compile a custom version of the 
toolchain and spend hours on it every few weeks. After all, the other 
compilers can be installed with 'apt-get install foofoo'.
