It's not an x86-64 problem, it's a C++ problem. mstflint uses NULL where
it should be using 0 for the function protoytypes in the class
definitions.

Older gcc versions were a bit more lenient, but it has tightened up to
meet the C++ specs recently.

I just recently ran into this problem and I have a patch, but it's at
the office. If someone doesn't get around to it before Tuesday, I'll
send it in.
