It should.

Can you be a bit more specific on what was required?

I haven't seen any sign of issues in building Squid-2.5.STABLE13 64-bit
on FC4 or FC5. All my Squid development is done on Athlon 64 since some
months back, but I admittedly do not have a great deal of ram (only 1G)
so I have not verified how large Squid can be pushed on 64-bit, but I
also haven't seen any signs making me worry about it..

$ file sbin/squid
sbin/squid: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for
GNU/Linux 2.6.9, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux
2.6.9, not stripped
