There is a plan, but it will probably be at least another 60 days before
such modules are available for testing; it's unfortunate that the FAX
protocol stack that is used in Fax For Asterisk is not natively 64-bit
clean, but we're working on improving it. As you've found, you can't
load it into a copy of Asterisk that was compiled as a 64-bit binary...
your only choices are to learn how to cross-compile to produce 32-bit
binaries on your 64-bit system, or just install the 32-bit flavor of
your distribution.
