Thank you for your reply.

My box has Suse 10.0 for x86_64. Why was is very hard to get running on 
Debian? Besides wasting some time figuring out which devel packages I 
needed on the host OS for gcc to build, the only thing I did was to 
patch the db4 openpkg rpm as described.

It looks very much like I got a full 64bit build:

$ file /kolab/libexec/openldap/slapd
/kolab/libexec/openldap/slapd: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, 
version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.4.1, dynamically linked (uses shared 
libs), stripped
$ file /kolab/libexec/postfix/qmgr
/kolab/libexec/postfix/qmgr: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, 
version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.4.1, dynamically linked (uses shared 
libs), stripped
...

OpenPKG and kolab matching the kolab 2.1 obmtool.conf from CVS.
