4 months ago I believe there's only one more of these that has to be done but I will have to check later. It's time for a rest. I'm not sure if I will get this done today or not: as I noted this past weekend today I have two doctor appointments. But I wanted to start to tackle his so that this item can be removed from the todo file. Right now I'm planning on resting again. I actually doubt I'll finish this task today but the next time I look at it I believe I can do it.

The 64-bit code binaries have been renamed to .alt: anonymous.ten.alt and anonymous.bed.alt. This is because it's theoretically possible that they are not compiled as 64-bit binaries (though how this might be I cannot think of at this time) and in any case they are alt builds (though they use the same source).
In the case the -m32 fails (whether due to compiler[0] or no access to 32-bit binary compilation) make alt will be used with warnings that the entry cannot work with them. The reason these are built as .alt and not the original is to be clearer whereas in other cases (like 1985/sicherman) the point was just a backup plan in case a compiler objects to it. Here they must be compiled as 32-bit ELF binaries (though we cannot check if they are ELF - at least not easily and in an entirely portable way - we can at least determine if they compiled as 32-bit) so the alt builds are set to be .alt in filenames.
The try.sh script has been updated for this and in the case. However this file needs to be looked at again and will be later. The purpose of this commit was to resolve another issue that is in the todo file (this is not yet done and might or might not be done later today).
