<p>
When compiling for AMD64, MLton targets the 64-bit ABI.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
On AMD64, MLton supports native code generation (<span class="monospaced">-codegen native</span> or <span class="monospaced">-codegen amd64</span>).
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
When compiling for AMD64, MLton uses <span class="monospaced">-align 8</span> by default.  Using
<span class="monospaced">-align 4</span> may be incompatible with optimized builds of the <a href="GnuMP">GnuMP</a>
library, which assume 8-byte alignment.  (See the thread at
<a href="http://www.mlton.org/pipermail/mlton/2009-October/030674.html">http://www.mlton.org/pipermail/mlton/2009-October/030674.html</a> for more
details.)
