The ODE library can be built for single and double precision.
The default is to build it for single precision on 32 bits, double precision on
64 bits.  Unfortunately some consumers like games/alienarena require a specific
precision to build, causing build failures when ODE is built with the wrong
one.

There are three possible solutions:

 a) add an option to configure the precision at build time, with double being
the
    default.
 b) always set precision to 64 bits, as is the default on 64 bit platforms
 c) flavorize the port for single/double, ideally such that both can be
installed
    at the same time.

I recommend going for option (c) or (b).
