Keep in mind that AMD64 is just one of many 64 bit environments that
postgresql can compile in and run on in 64 bit mode. So, it's not an
entirely new thing or something like that.
Any problems are more likely to be due to problems in the 64 bit
libraries in the system surrounding it, and those PostgreSQL can't vouch
for.
