Wow. What a nice way to tell us you read the release notes. Made me

I think this is an issue with 64-bit versus 32-bit. I don't have a 64- 
bit system to work on, so I've never been able to try it.

My guess is we need to modify build.xml with a gcc option to support  
64-bit. I'm also not a 100% sure the build.properties file works  
anymore. Try building with the options on the command line:

build.sh -Drpm.platform=linux-i386-suse-9 -Dproduct.snapshot=false - 
Dproduct.release=0 -Dskip.tests=true -Dbuild.rrdtool.lib.dir=/usr/ 
lib64 -Dinstall.dir=/opt/OpenNMS rpm
