I have put a repository request to remove blender from the x86_64 architcutre.
It should be said that the next version of blender (may be called 2.43a, 2.44 or 2.5..) is planned to support 64bit, and it should be very near; however, I'm sure that when it will happen ton will remove the warning from the source code (version 2.43 cannot be compiled in 64bit without getting a message saying the software is not production capable and exit(); )
Blender 2.44, which supports 64bit, is available: http://www.blender.org/development/release-logs/blender-244/ Please pay extra attention to what python version this supports and what FC supports.
