On 64bit, a memory pointer is 8 bytes instead of 4 as

internal structures hold pointers or long values.
Kamailio would probably benefit from using the X32 ABI. By their own
definition: 32 ABI is designed for environments where the current ia32 ABI
is sufficient. It can be viewed as ia32 with register extended to 64-bit
plus 8 more registers as well as IP relative address. Everything else is
still 32-bit.
Unfortunately it's not (yet) an offically supported arch/port on Debian.
