IIRC, NSIS can only be compiled as a 32 bit program (native Fedora
though) because the code is full of 32 bit assumptions.

Debian patched 2.39 to fix some of the 32 bit assumptions, but we are
still compiling it as 32 bit (ie. gcc -m32).

Might be worth going back to Debian and finding out what patches/etc
they are shipping to make it work on 64 bit platforms.
