Hello,
A little while ago, I had created a pull request (#3522), but then I had lost track of the status. Relevant info is as follows:
In my testing on 64bit OSes, I found that mupen64bit would throw errors while compiling. After further investigation, I found that just increasing swap when on a 64-bit system would alleviate the issue. This is similar to how more swap is needed when compiling MAME on a 64-bit platform.
On my original pull request, I recently discovered that it was suggested I squash commits. It had been quite some time though since my original commits so my attempts at squashing them grew messier and messier. So I reset my branch and recommitted the changes. Unfortunately, in doing so, my original pull request was closed (since there were no changes after my branch was reset). So I've created a new pull request.
Apologies for the confusion and for letting my original pull request languish for so long.
