They don't. If you had bothered to actually read the responses in this 
thread, you would understand that compiling 64bit versions on Linux is 
*trivial*, and on OSX *much* easier than on Windows.

The reason there is none is because it is *hard* to do - *very* hard - 
and because the benefit is so little, it isn't a high priority.

Yes, you are within your rights to *ask* for it... but when you start 
demanding someone else do the heavy lifting for FREE, you begin to sound 
like little children banging on the table that 'I want what I want when 
I want it!'...
