Comment 54 for bug 207072

I have compiled gvfs 64-bit from source, as I have described in comment 20. If you follow the instructions given here:
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.html
it is not that hard. Essentially you do this (you must have the deb-src lines active in /etc/apt/sources.list):

$ sudo apt-get update
$ apt-get source gvfs

... apply the patch properly, then

$ sudo apt-get build-dep gvfs

(this takes care of installing all the build dependencies).
Finally, from inside the gvfs source directory):

$ sudo dpkg-buildpackage -uc -b

(this generates all the new .deb packages)

The most difficult part is installing the patch, the other commands take care of everything else.
