Yep, on the website:
http://www.scilab.org/download/index_download.php?page=nightly_builds_5.0
For GNU/Linux platforms [xxxx] [64 bits]

Same as under 32 bits.

I don't understand this point.

You have to add the option --enable-build-localization

Try: --enable-build-help

64 bits gluegen-rt.so should be available in <SCI>/bin/
If you are sure that it is OK, try to launch Scilab this way:
SCIVERBOSE=1 ./bin/scilab 
and check if the LD_LIBRARY_PATH contains <SCI>/bin/
