[RFC] GDB64 on PPC64 - tclsh does not compile 64bit

[Manoj Iyer <manjo at austin dot ibm dot com>]

I have this problem for a while with GDB 6.1 CVS (Same patch is applicable
to mainline GDB as well), and I used to hand patch it while building GDB64
on PPC64. tclsh does not build 64bit because of a missing CFLAGS on the
compile line, a patch is attached.

Problem:
---------
(NOTE: I am using a different toolchain, but the problem is independent of
that)

I set CFLAGS=-m64 LDFLAGS=-m64 ./configure .... while configuring. The
above patch fixes this problem.

Thanks
