FWIW, MRP [1] is in the process of supporting x86-64 as well as
currently support PPC32/64 and IA32. MRP is written in Java, which
gives a somewhat cleaner code base and the other usual productivity
gains from a managed language. It also has non-optimizing support for
Win32 but not yet Win64. The compiler back-end is based on iburg and a
linear scan register allocator. It currently not only hosts a Java
platform but a binary translator (supporting ARM, x86 and PPC) with
some early work on a Parrot VM too.
