I'm not a 64bits expert but uname -a is not enough it just ack that you
run a 64 bit kernel. It does not confirm that the rest of the OS is a 64
bits one. I was asking this just because I encountered such warnings
while running a 64 bit kernel on a sarge x86 with amd64-libs-dev
packages and gcc-3.4. My OS was a 32bit OS in a userland point of view,
the kern was 64 bits and I was able to procude 64bits binaries which
were able to be launched on the host.

So, you are running a pure64 OS that's it? (sorry to ask twice;)

The packages files are in a wrong location and they are there just as a
reminder. So, if you want to build just do this:
cd ~/pgadmin3-1.4.0-beta3
cp -a pkg/debian .
optionnaly edit debian/changelog by running dch -i
then launch the binary build:
dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc -rfakeroot


Feel free to ask more if something goes wrong. I'd be glad seeing an
amd64 package around. :)
