That's the menu stuff. I haven't tried building that one yet (it's disabled in 
that SRPM - it's not essential to be able to use NSIS). Presumably there's also 
a -m32 switch somewhere there which also has to be patched out? There may also 
be 64-bit safety issues, I can help you with those. (I have some experience 
with that sort of stuff, I had my own 64-bit patchset for NSIS originally, but 
Debian eventually fixed the same stuff too so I used theirs, I was also the one 
who fixed z88dk for 64-bit architectures.) The gist of it is to build on x86_64 
with as many GCC warnings as possible and fix everything GCC complains about, 
usually those are all the offending places, only rarely there is some stuff 
which has to be noticed by hand (during runtime testing).
