Is it that hard to port an application to 64 bits?

Programmer Question

I was surprised to read that Adobe discontinued the 64 bits version of Flash for Linux. While there is a new 32 bits version, and Adobe advises users to use the 32 bits version of Firefox instead.



Was wondering, as I didn't have to do that yet, is it that hard to port an application to 64 bits? Besides the libraries changes and the recompilation (settings in the Makefile), what makes the port difficult?
