64 bit Linux version?

Are there any plans to release a native 64-bit build of the Linux version? While it is running fine for me, I generally prefer to see 64-bit builds instead of having to rely on 32-bit compatibility libraries.

FWIW I am running on Slackware64 14.0 and have not encountered any problems. Electronic Farts has release it’s first title - Star Wreck - which the press has universally proclaimed to be “bad”, though I am assured by my nephew that the youngsters these days use that to mean “good”.

Hear, hear. A 32-bit only build leaves much to be wished for. I’m aching for more games on Linux, but if it’s between installing a minor mountain (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lib32-gtk3/, for starters…) of compatibility libraries to get it running or rebooting, I’ll begrudgingly go with the latter for now.

For 64-bit ubuntu users (tested with 12.10), the way to launch game (after installing deb package), would be:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
sudo apt-get upgrade
*Reboot may be required
