It looks like a simple oversight that somehow doesn't bite on i386.    

Just commenting it out at the top of as.cpp -- that does the trick.  The rcpp
namespace is never used anywhere. [ Romain and I have one/off discussion
about sticking stuff to rcpp or keeping in his brandew RForge package cpp
which has fancy STL object inspection / creation from R. For a die-hard Java
programmer he has quite the C++ tricks up his sleeve. ]
