Hmm. Strange.
I would suggest you bootstrap from 6.2.2 sources, using a 6.2.2 compiler
to generate the sources (not 6.4) -- I bootstrapped an x86_64 box last
week in this fashion.

All you are really doing is trying to build 6.2.2 using 6.4, on a
supported host, which should work (though there maybe some 6.4-ish
reason that this is not the case).
