Yes. The wire protocol is 32/64 invariant.

I must admit to being puzzelled as to why rpcgen decided to use
IXDR_GET_LONG there. All the rest of the code in that function is
using int, and the protocol is defined to be int.
Are you actually seeing failures when doing 32 -> 64 remote connections
or vica-verca ?
FYI, I completely forgot, but I am actually using 32- > 64 on a regular
basis. My laptop is 32-bit and I'm using virt-manager to remotely access
64-bit hosts using both SSH + TLS data transports
