There are no x86_64 rpms, because at first we didn't have access to a 
x86_64 to build it. When I got (ssh-)access to one I started building 
snapshots using fpc 2.1.1, see 
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/Lazarus_Snapshots_Downloads 
for downloads. (Don't forget to read the disclaimer.)

IMHO fpc 2.0.2 is not stable enough for lazarus on x86_64, so no 
releases are made yet. I hope the upcoming fpc 2.0.4 will be good enough.

Vincent.
