64-bit Fail

[sordidarchetype]

I just created a micro core 64-bit Disc using the bzImage64 and microcore64.gz files for version 3 alpha 8.
So far everything seems to be looking good!

When I try to run my vmware install script however, it terminates immediately telling me that this system is in-fact NOT 64-bit, and I should installed the i386 version of vmware instead.

Now, when I run uname -r, I receive:  2.6.33.3-tinycore64

Has anyone seen this kind of issue before? On every other 64-bit system I run (all debian systems) this script runs fine. What could be different with Microcore in this case?

In the 64 bit version only very few core components, like the kernel, are 64 bit, the rest is 32 bit, like all the extensions. So my guess is that vmware detects 64/32 bit by calling some glib-function, where the glib is 32 bit.

If that really is the case, there is no quick way to fix this.

Thanks for your help!
That actually makes a lot of sense. I guess the only way of successfully completing the install then would be to recompile all components as 64-bit. Not exactly what I was hoping for, but at least I know where I have to go from here.
