Actually, with gschem the problem is that it won't compile in 64-bit
mode, at least not with Gentoo's packaging of it (and the rest of
gEDA), at least not last time I tried.  It might be worth trying
again, or trying to compile the distribution directly myself, rather
than using Gentoo's scripts.  Apparently others have done so.
