This seems to be a good doc:
http://www.unix-systems.org/version2/whatsnew/lp64_wp.html

It appears that Linux on 64bit archs is always LP64 and not ILP64.
This suggests that it should be enough to change unsigned int to 
unsigned long (*not* unsigned long long as Jason did!) in maxbytes and 
perhaps other limits-related variables in memcache. This wouldn't change 
anything on 32-bit systems and will give 64-bit limits on 64-bit 
systems. Warning: I didn't test anything, I'm just theoretizing from my 
armchair. It's a comfy armchair.
