Well the 32 vs. 64 option has been available for some time as an 
"address-model" feature when building. When not given the default for 
the compiler is used. For 1.33.1 (BBv1) to change it would mean adding 
"<address-model>64" for example, to the -sBUILD request. For 1.34.0 
(BBv2) one would add an argument "address-model=64" when building.
