  45 On AMD64, MLton supports native code generation (<span class="monospaced">-codegen native</span> or <span class="monospaced">-codegen amd64</span>).

  50 When compiling for AMD64, MLton uses <span class="monospaced">-align 8</span> by default.  Using
  51 <span class="monospaced">-align 4</span> may be incompatible with optimized builds of the <a href="GnuMP">GnuMP</a>
  52 library, which assume 8-byte alignment.  (See the thread at
  53 <a href="http://www.mlton.org/pipermail/mlton/2009-October/030674.html">http://www.mlton.org/pipermail/mlton/2009-October/030674.html</a> for more
