The port doesn't have a knob for doing that.  I don't know why the
linker is having problems; there shouldn't be anything special about
architecture here.  Perhaps you're running 32-bit libraries on a
64-bit system?

Normally I would recommend talking to the port maintainer, but you
obviously have outdated ports.
