I believe (and hope) that TU who have access to a x86_64 machine already 
provide x86_64 versions of their packages. BTW, gcarrier has a build 
machine for x86_64. Ask him for access if you don't have a x86_64 machine.

In this case, !x86_64 will be taken as an achitecture. A comment after the 
arch field would be more aproppriate, e.g.:
arch=(i686) # Binary blob, doesn't work on x86_64
