We as a project have no control on whether they are available or not.

Please consider becoming a volunteer who'd upload 64-bit binaries to the GNU FTP site, or lobby others to do that. Perhaps the person(s) who produced the binaries you are using would like to also upload them to the GNU site. Anyway, I see no need to change anything in the documentation, as it never says you can expect finding the latest binaries there, or any binaries. Thanks.
