The bug is that with an x86-64 kernel, we didn't set AT_PLATFORM to 
x86_64 by default for all executables because that's a reasonable way to 
identify the microarchitecture (in particular, that there is SSE2 
support, and you can switch to long mode if you think it's beneficial 
for what you are doing).

Thanks,
