 We need to investigate.

  * Rebuilding the bitfrost rpm on x86_64 results in a bitfrost package
 where pysign and pyverify always fail.
  * bios-crypto is known to not work on 64-bit. At least, anything that
 uses sig01 (e.g. activation/devkey generation) generates bad data. If
 sig01 is changed to use ltm_desc (libtommath instead of tomsfastmath),
 things start working again.
