Unfortunately Self is still 32bit only. I think Russell uses Mac OS so
might have a work around involving virtual machines.

I did some work a while back trying to get Self running on x86_64 by
reviving the bytecode interpreter rather than using the JIT - which
would require writing an x86_64 JIT. I wasn't able to get the
interpreter running though - I don't think it ever worked or it has
bitrot since the releases that it did work. I think if I were to
revisit it, using LLVM, or some other existing code generation
framework, might be a better idea just to get something running.
