While freetype version 2.1.10 (as used in Debian sid) still has the source code constructs described in this bug report, the result does seem to work fine on a 64-bit arch (amd64).
* It builds without any of the characteristic 64-bit
unclean warnings.
* I can run
ttfbanner -p 8 $f test
without crashing for every .ttf file on my system (which
does not include ARIAL.TTF).
* Fitting 32-bits into an unsigned long is a satisfactory
and standards-compliant way to program. It may be wasteful
on a 64-bit machine, but it does not (necessarily) get the
wrong answer.
* The version with claimed 64-bit bugs is five years old.
Any real 64-bit bugs that once existed probably got fixed
upstream years ago.
Unless someone (Chris?) comes up with a live, reproducible
64-bit bug in this package, I suggest this bug get closed.
