To build DMD as a 64-bit binary:
make -flinux.mak MODEL=-m64
To build Phobos or Druntime as 64-bit:
make -fposix.mak MODEL=64
These are not consistent and should be.

Worth noting, you don't need to build dmd as a 64 bit binary to have it generate 64 bit output. I do agree that consistency would be good.
While fixing inconsistencies, there's a similar one for building phobos between the posix and win32 make files. posix.mak uses DRUNTIME_PATH and win32.mak uses DRUNTIME.
