   4 MLton runs fine on the AMD64 (aka "x86-64" or "x64") architecture.

   6 == Notes ==
   7
   8 * When compiling for AMD64, MLton targets the 64-bit ABI.
   9
  10 * On AMD64, MLton supports native code generation (`-codegen native` or `-codegen amd64`).
  11
  12 * When compiling for AMD64, MLton uses `-align 8` by default.  Using
  13 `-align 4` may be incompatible with optimized builds of the <:GnuMP:>
  14 library, which assume 8-byte alignment.  (See the thread at
  15 http://www.mlton.org/pipermail/mlton/2009-October/030674.html for more
  16 details.)
