I believe that 11.1 is distributed as a pure 64-bit build, non-hybrid.  Or, if it's
distributed as a reverse hybrid, it ought to be possible to disable the
32-bit part.

if you have a $II_SYSTEM/ingres/bin/lp32 directory then you have a
reverse hybrid.

If ingprenv prints a variable II_LP32_ENABLED, try ingunset-ing it
and see if that doesn't build a 64 bit ABF image.

I am pretty sure this is all new with 11.1.  If you have an older release,
I don't think we have 64-bit ABF support.
