IMO yes since the current release is unusable on x86_64. But please make
sure to also include the

 1. The distribution missed the files

        purgatory/arch/x86_64/entry64-32.S,
        purgatory/arch/x86_64/entry64.S,
        purgatory/arch/x86_64/setup-x86_64.S,
        purgatory/arch/x86_64/stack.S,
        purgatory/arch/x86_64/purgatory-x86_64.c

    The problem was that variable expansion in a Makefile is a bit   
    different from the expectation, i.e. the final value is used even if
    the variable is used in the middle.

part of my fix.
