All of the nasty bugs we know about, yea.  There are a few
compile-time warnings that you'll get on a 64-bit machine though,
which I get all the time now 'cuz my main two machines that I run
Xastir on are 64-bit OpenSuSE-11.1 machines.  One of my sons just
compiled Xastir tonight on his 64-bit machine as well and asked me
about those very warnings.  The current state of the CVS version is
that it runs nicely on 64-bit.  Earlier versions will crash with
64-bit CPU's if you do an RAC lookup of a callsign.
