[antlr-interest] generating C code from g3pl file for 64 bit linux

[Krishna Venuturimilli]

we are using antlr 3.1.1 - and yes we did compile the runtime libs with the
enable 64 bit.
The libs compile fine and link with our application code fine; When did not
have the enable 64 bit the link against our application code would fail
because the libs were built in 32 bit.

May be I should try with 3.3 (the latest version of antlr).
thank you
