Description

The current HowToRelease wiki document says that 64-bit linux native libs are optional for a release. However, we had them in all 0.16.x, 0.17.[0-1], and 0.18.0 releases. Provided the fact that 64-bit computers become more common nowadays. We should make this binary built and included in release.
