Roughly, it was this. There's a rule that Firebird 1.0x will use
exactly the same on disk structure (ODS) as InterBase 6.0, ignoring
minor extensions to the system tables and indexes there-upon. The 64
bit version accidentally introduced alignment differences that made the
ODS incompatible.

Compiling Firebird 1.5x - in any variant - on a 64 bit processor for use
an InterBase database is going to be a very twitchy process.
