I can see it making sense to have a 64-bit build of a Database, but
clients that just talk to it over a socket using some socket protocol
shouldn't in any way be required to also be 64-bit. Same goes for your
Web server and PHP if you use the recommended FastCGI mechanism. Again
there is a nice separation between the two, so you don't need to match
build environments there either.
