Yah.. I'm usually very good at problem solving, but in a decade with Linux, 
this is the first time I had ever seen an ELFCLASS64... Also, I'm still new 
enough with Arch and pacman that strange messages that I've never seen before 
don't register yet as to whether they are of the ID-10-T variety or if they 
have something to do with an Arch tool -- but I'll get there.

P.S. The ID-10-T error?

write it all together in lower-case and look at it again ;-)

(id10t => idiot)

I try to minimize the number of ID-10-T errors I create :p
