Yes, this is a 64bit/SWIG issue. 

For similar issues see also http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/1379

I had the same issue on 64bit Fedora11, fix was to re-type the len variable 
from int
to Py_ssize_t at the four declarations (see the line numbers).

That does not come from swig only, see third hook of

I got this error some days ago when recompiling an ancient 2.4 version, now it 
seems the problem does not occur anymore. closing the issue
