On the one hand, one is told that for most ports, it is just a matter of
recompiling.  (I realise there is the cost/trouble of testing/validating
etc).

What sort of system features would Oracle and RDB use which are
architecture specific and require much work to port from one 64 bit
architecture to another on the same opertating system ?
