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.
