I just built and tested on powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu with both -m32
and -m64 and both worked fine (and I made sure that it was actually
generating 32- and 64-bit binaries respectively).  Something funky is
definitely going on here.  I'll look into it more tomorrow.

I used "CC='gcc -m64'" and it worked.  I'll look into the CFLAGS issue
as well.

Thanks David.
