Sounds like the x32 project (32 bit ABI for x86_64 using 32 bit pointers): https://sites.google.com/site/x32abi/ GNU binutils from 2.22 has support for the new ABI and gcc support is available from the GNU git trees but you'll need to obtain kernel, gdb and glibc patches from the x32 git repositories (and recompile $world to have everything use the new ABI of course). There's a gentoo bootstrap (stage3) that might provide a more convenient way to take a peek at what's being done without doing too much heavy lifting.
