soc-camera atm supports 7 platforms (if I haven't forgotten anyone), none 
of them is 64-bit. But you're right, it shall compile cleanly on 64 bits 
too, I'm working on a patch. Unfortunately, while working on it I came 
across other regressions, that blocked my tests... But a solution will be 
found.

Thanks
