I ran into this problem when porting the OLPC activation server from 
running on a 32-bit VM to running natively on owl.laptop.org which is 
64-bit.

The issues were with the toms libs that did all the crypto and optimised 
math.  They would not produce correct results in earlier 64bit releases. 
  This was fixed in later versions.

I can't remember the gory details but there's some tweaks that need to 
be made to the makefile and to pysign but after that it works.

Looking at my build of bios-crypto on owl I still have the changes 
should anyone want to build a package for 64bit.
