It's a good bit more involved then just recompiling source. If it were
that easy I'm sure Pat would have already done so. Fact of the matter
is, two sets of libraries have to be maintained (one for 64-bit
binaries and one for 32-bit bins), some apps just don't compile neatly
for non-x86 archs, etc. Running the default SlackBuilds should work,
but it's only going to work in-so-far as it'll create valid 32-bit
binaries, not optimized 64-bit bins.
