Hi,

this is just the Gentoo version of the Debian bug mentioned in the URL filed.

When I run sxid on any of my amd64 machines it always reports many S[UG]ID files having changed md5sums as logged from prior scans. Needless to say that neither I nor some program/software did change any of the files sxid reports as changed.
According to the Debian bug, sxid's md5.c file does not work properly on 64-bit systems.
As the Debian bug contains a patch I tried that and it fixes sxid so it doesn't report false positives anymore.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge app-admin/sxid on some amd64 machine
2. run "sxid -n &>/dev/null" to generate/update sxid's log file
3. run 'sxid -n | grep "^m " | less' and watch the list of false positives
